Why Isn't Anyone 'Flock'ing?
As of July 2009, Mozilla’s Firefox accounted for nearly 23% of all browser usage – making it the second most popular Web browser worldwide behind Microsoft’s many versions of Internet Explorer, which claim 68% of the browser-usage pie. While these two browsers are the most popular, there are several others – including Opera, Chrome and…
The Good & Bad of the 'Twitter Effect'
Way back in April, we published a post titled “Is Tweeting for the Birds?” That was when Twitter was just becoming the phenomenon it is now – thanks to lots of press from celebrity endorsers.

We know we’ve been a little heavy on the blog-themed posts lately, but we embrace the irony of blogging about blogging. Or something like that. We’re confused, too.

Is Your Blog Going for the Gold?
A few weeks ago, we posted an article on the benefits of being honest in social-media marketing. It’s a hot topic – the latter more than the former – for many companies contemplating how to further harness the power of the Internet in a valuable yet cost-effective way.

Can’t Run With the Big Blogs? That’s OK – There’s Still Room on the Porch
Directing traffic to your blog is like trying to unload tix to an Avril Lavigne concert when the New Kids are performing next door. It’s a formidable task – but it can be done.
