Is My Password Secure Enough?
January 7, 2014
About a year ago, we discussed the merits of creating a secure password. A lot has changed in technology over the past 12 or so months, especially in the mobile arena with the proliferation of tablets and smartphones becoming more and more functional. They are able to emulate many functions that were previously the venue of laptops or netbooks. What this means is that now there is even more need for unique, secure passwords than ever!

Online Shopping Tips for the Holidays!
December 20, 2011
Tips: Shopping Tip List
- Trust your instincts. If you don’t feel comfortable buying or bidding on an item over the web, or if you feel pressured to place your order immediately, maybe you shouldn’t.
- Be knowledgeable about web-based auctions. Take special care to familiarize yourself not only with the rules and policies of the auction site itself but with the legal terms (warranties, refund policy, etc.) of the seller’s items that you wish to bid on.
- Double check pricing. Be suspicious of prices that are too good to be true. Also consider carefully whether you may be paying too much for an item, particularly if you’re bidding through an auction site. You may want to comparison shop, online or offline, before you buy. Make sure there are not extra shipping or handling costs. Read the rest of this entry »

September 12, 2011
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility(like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet). – Wikipedia

Why Social Media?
July 29, 2011
So whats the big deal? Do you really need to be a part of this “phenomenon”? Is it worth investing in? The answer to both those questions is a resounding YES.
Maintaining a social media presence can be invaluable for your business. Not only does it put your business where your customers are, but it gives them a direct conduit to interact with you. It also gives you a direct line to market to and interact with current and future clients. It puts your business in front of literally thousands of faces that would otherwise most likely never hear of you.
Some other reasons why Social Media is a good idea:
1. Quick results – with social media you can develop content and be seen by thousands of visitors within the same day.
2. Flexible – Whatever your needs and your audience, there should be an option to use social media for your benefit.
3. Predictable – once you know a social media audience pretty well, you can cater content to their preferences with a pretty high success rate. What you learn about social media can easily be duplicated to your other blogs or to serving clients.
4. Increased traffic – success with social media will likely increase the number of inbound links you receive. Links will boost your search engine rankings and they’ll also drive click-through traffic your way. Both are generally high quality traffic sources.
If your business is not utilizing Social Media, you are missing a valuable opportunity!
