We’ve been hard at work developing a social network for dogs for one of our clients. It’s our first community site, so you know we were going to run into some issues. That said, we’ve learned some extremely valuable lessons from the project:

Are Domain Names A Good Investment In A Down Economy?
February 13th, 2009 — Domaining
These are HUGE drops in price. I would attribute much of it to the ever-growing choices domain buyers have when it comes to gTLD’s (remember when it was .com, .net, .org, and that’s it?). With more and more countries opening up their registries to the general public, these options are only…
Are iPhone Apps Worth The Cost Of Developing Them?
January 21st, 2009 — iPhone
In other words, if you were to develop an app and sell it for the average price of $3 and have it downloaded and paid for by the average number of users per app, you’d generate $3360. However, since Apple takes 30% of revenues from apps sold in the store, that number would actually drop to $2352.

The Greatest Political Accomplishment In History
November 11th, 2008 — Miscellaneous
In a country where, in many states, a 7 year-old Barack Obama wouldn’t have been allowed on the same bus or in the same diner as a poor, dirty white man - he is now the leader of each and every one of those white men - in each and every one of those states!

So apparently it takes 2 years and $487,000 Canadian dollars to get this:
What do you think? If you asked me, it’s a ridiculous sum for tax payers to be dishing out for what a select few at the Montreal Metropolitan Community deem appropriate for our city.
That’s roughly 17 cents per citizen in the city. How [...]
How to Get Email as an SMS on Your Mobile Phone - for Free
September 18th, 2008 — Extanet Projects
In a nutshell, Unomobi has developed a way for anyone in North America to recieve all of their emails as a text message on their cell phone. Now, admittedly, this email push service is not totally new, but I’m quite sure the this type of service has never been offered at no cost to the end-user.

Firefox vs Chrome
September 10th, 2008 — Miscellaneous
Google launched their Chrome browser last week and I’ve been using it since day 1. I have to admit - I’ve been a Firefox junkie for over two years now - in large part due to the plethora of add-ons.
I’m the guy that uses FAR too MANY plug-ins and that has at least 4 toolbars [...]
Google PageRank Is Dead!
September 2nd, 2008 — Online Marketing
So I was browsing through the Google results for Web Design when it hit me - Google PageRank means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING anymore. Okay, maybe not nothing, but definitely nowhere near the importance it once held and definitely not a determining factor in how a page ranks for a keyword anymore.
How do I know this? Well, [...]
