Today I am meeting with a client to review the design and build of his new website. Quite frankly I’m not looking forward to this meeting. I am the barrier of bad news. When I originally accepted this project, I could see Google had indexed about 1,000 pages within his domain.

Popularity Contests Take the Next Level With Social Media

I enjoy his blog entries and cannot wait to immerse ... Read More

Twitter and Linkedin Unite in Social Matrimony
This week Twitter and Linkedin united to share status updates across their mass social media networks. I was thrilled, as I love both communities. As soon as the functionality was released, I was on my Linkedin profile attempting to unite the two applications.
