When can I watch Heroes Season 5 / Chapter 6?

Annoying Heroes isn't coming back, at least not yet anyway. There are currently two rumors doing the rounds:

1 - A mini season: Could happen. Some of the previous chapters were only half a season and wrapped up quite nicely so this would be a good way of sorting everything out in 12 episodes or less. Digital Spy seem to have good evidence this could be the case.

2 - 'Another format': All Tim Kring interviews following the cancellation of Heroes Season 5 had him hinting that the show could return in another format. That potentially means DVD only, movie or comic. A comic is the most likely, with the show already well designed for the format. As for a movie don't expect to see anything for a few years, if a TV network won't touch it then a movie is unlikely.

So when can you watch Heroes Season 5 in the UK or US? If a mini season gets picked up not until 2011, and who knows maybe you'll be reading the next season in a comic instead.

Long Time No Speak!

If you've been coming to the site any time in the last oooh year and a half you'll probably notice I've gone quiet. No I'm not one of the Lost writers in hiding, nor have I saught the need to hide a secret identity. Truth is I've been working and following the conclusion of Freebie-Man I moved to Hampshire, started Internet Marketing and was recurited by a UK SEO Company. I also couldn't resist the occasional Freebie for old times sake.

Interestingly this didn't present a world a million miles away from that of gathering freebies. It still involved liasing with PR agencies, newspapers and writing articles on just about anything. Freebie-Man itself make it in the USA Today, BBC Radio 5 Live, The Times and Web User Magazine so this gave me good experience in how to take a site to the press and gain good value links.

Internet Marketing also needs a degree of internet research and a confident persona so it was a good fit for the tipes outlined in the Don't Buy It Blag It book - still available free here

What this means for Freebie-Man is a change in to 'Word of Mike' the contiuation of the old column I wrote for my first gaming site back in 2001. Topics will evolve away from gaming to include the entire Freebie-Man archive, Internet Marketing tips, Blagging advice and general ramblings from someone who spends way too much time online.

But What is SEO? - The SEO Bedtime Story Explains All

About 5 minutes ago I told you all I work in Search Engine Optimisation but just what the devil is that? For those who don't know their SEO from their SEM or their PPC from MCC you can find out more from the SEO Bedtime Story I wrote for Impact Media.

400 Products later....

Today marks the end of the Freebie-Man quest. A quest which spanned two years and asked the simple question "Can anyone get just about anything for free?".

The answer was a resounding yes, with over 400 products (worth £5000 / $8000) gained simply by asking nicely. From a kitchen sink to my entire Christmas for two years I proved that nice people can get something for nothing. Over time this strategy evolved in to the principle of a unique offer, a way of asking for something for free in return for your help of some kind which became a four step plan for anyone to get just about anything for free.

How to get free furniture

Today we answer a query from long time reader, contributor and one of the first ever readers of the Freebie-Man book: pgaleota who asks:

"OK so I need some gorgeous furniture... I am hopefully buying a house and will need some bits, I LOVE Laura Ashley, how can I get some??"

There are two options here, the first is simple and the other, well lets say it involves getting your hands dirty.
