Brent and Martha: FriendsReunited in DIY
Brent Hoberman and Martha Lane Fox, founders of Lastminute.com, have launched a new venture - a pseudo social networking site for DIY enthusiasts called MyDeco.com.
The Sunday Times story on the launch of MyDeco.com says Hoberman has raised £5 million in capital for the project and will take the executive chairman position, with Lane Fox a non-executive director.
So the dynamic duo are back on the scene. [The pair were named amongst our Influential Ten list last September, a poll to recognise the movers and shakers of the past ten years in the online travel industry]
In true Hoberman style, an email said:

I wonder if it is going to be like this http://www.curbly.com/ ??
Zorba: Hmmm. Very interesting... it looks and feels similar to what many will expect from MyDeco.
