What if You Had No Control At Your Website

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:48:30 -0700

As social media and the onslaught of “free-for-all” user contributed content storms the web, until recently one of the few areas you had complete control over was your own website. That recently changed.

Google has launched it’s new “Sidewiki” as a portion to the Google Toolbar. Now as people surf the net they are being encouraged to comment on any website that they visit.

The successful candidate will receive much needed computer hardware, software, stuff for play and training needed and also web marketing services to ensure and maintain the Alberta Advantage.

Internet Exploder 6.0... it simply will not go away.

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:17:58 -0700

I was glad to see the recent statistics for website browser usage at the w3school site showed that Firefox is now the dominant web-browser. The simple fact that there are still stats for IE6 are indicative of the issues that Microsoft brings to the web-browser world.

In November 2002 a combined 83% of users used either IE 5 or IE 6. Internet Explorer 6 was released on August 27, 2001, a few months before Windows XP. So it begs the question – why the hell do so many people still have IE 6.0 on their computer?

My Jury is Out on Twitter

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:03:31 -0700

I am not certain that doing something that earns you the title of “office twit” is a good thing. Over the past several weeks, after a hard debate with myself, I decided to throw caution to the wind and actually start utilizing the Twitter account that I opened in August 2008.

Twitter, it’s the simple banter of 140 character text messages, called Tweets, out to a list of other Twitter users (Tweeters) who have elected to follow you… and listen to your Tweets.

I really wanted to understand, for the sake of our clients, if there is any value in this from a business prospective.

To Blog or Not to Blog?

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:44:00 -0700

To Blog or not to Blog? This is the question that many Calgary Business owners are grappling with. The simple answer to this, in my humble opinion, it YES.

Blogging is a powerful way to attract targetted traffic to your strategic messaging.

Blogware, the application that drives blogs, make it so that your blog not only syndicates your message automatically, it can alert Google to your new writing, and it will keep subscribers up to date with your new thoughts.
