17 years ago, Jonathan Gay helped pioneer the technology that has helped shape the internet as we know it today. Flash is a favorite tool of web designers to bring websites to life, adding videos, rotating images, and widgets to web pages.

Although Flash is often abused by amateur web designers that get a little carried away, it certainly plays an important role in professional web design. One problem is that websites that are designed strictly in Flash can create search engine indexing problems. This means people may not be able to find your website when they perform a Google search.

Other internet users can experience compatibility issues. For instance, Iphones cannot display Flash applications, and instead it displays an empty box with a question mark. Other internet users have to install Flash before they can experience the applications, creating hurdles for many people who aren't comfortable installing software.

Even with these drawbacks, Flash has its place in professional web design. Just view some of our work to see how we can incorporate Flash into your website.

According to TechCruch, Yelp recently walked away in the last hour from nearly selling its business profile website to Google over half a billion dollars.

Nearly everyone is aware of Google, or possible Google addict such as myself. Yet, many of you may not be aware of Yelp. Yelp was founded in 2004 and is a local search and business review site. It is a local reviews website that is driven by local consumers that sign up and rate their favorite hole in the wall or businesses in their communities. Yelp uses social networking features to let people write reviews and share their reviews with friends.

Why do you need a dynamic website? Why does the number one professional athlete in the world need one? Everyone on Earth knows him. Well for Tiger Woods it gave him a venue to let the world know what is going on in his life. He did not do it on TV…he did it online.

More and more businesses are entering the online world and engaging the conversation that is already taking place. Many business owners are finding their customers are shaping their brand online through social networking sites like Yelp with reviews and star ratings.

You can actually control the conversation with the right online marketing strategy. If this sounds foriegn to you or if you simply don't have the time or expertise to engage online consumers, we can help.

This year was a first for Heisman Voting. Nissan, the corporate sponsor of the Heisman Trophy Trust, will be giving its vote via results of their online poll. What effect will this have in the 75 year tradition? Maybe the trust will consider letting its voters submit its 2010 votes online.

In years past it has always been the issue of the ballots being mailed in. This causes some writers to have to submit the ballot before the league championship games are played. So, if their vote did not live up to hype in the final week, it may have skewed the vote. This online option would allow the voters to consider the players whole body of work.

This year was one of the closets votes in the history of Heisman voting. Alabama's Mark Ingram may have slipped past Colt McCoy of Texas and Tim Tebow of Florida due to this advance in this online technology.
