Improve Search Engine Rankings by Using a Simple Tool
This post is part of our monthly segment called “Technology Meeting Wrap Up.” Every month, the whole office meets to discuss fun, useful, helpful, new (or any combination of these adjectives) tools and technology. This segment discusses one bit of technology we discussed at our meeting.
Everyone’s interested in the good ol’ acronym that is one [...]
iTunes may sell concert tickets (or tickets for anything you can imagine)
We all love Apple rumors. But this one seems to have some ground to stand on. Late last week PatentlyApple posted some pretty comprehensive details of Apple’s latest patent filing. It’s a full-fledged blueprint for selling and managing ticketing for concerts, sports events, conferences, amusement parks, museums, airlines — possibly even weddings — anything really.
April Technology Meeting Wrap Up: Spotlight on QR Code
Every month, the whole office gathers around the fireplace in the conference room to discuss one of our favorite topics: technology. No, we don’t do this because we are huge nerds, although I can’t claim that most of us don’t fall into that category. We meet because we realize the technology landscape changes hourly (it [...]
A realtime website data tracking solution arrives, like a live version of Google Analytics
Until now, live data reporting for websites was either a dream or a jumble of data that was difficult to understand. Chartbeat releases a new beta today that aims to change all that.
11 percent say they would interrupt sex for social media
I love social media. At Demi & Cooper we live and breathe it. I’ve been known to check Facebook—much to the annoyance of my wife—while out to dinner. I’ve even (as a joke) live-Tweeted my daughter’s 6th birthday party. But It turns out social media may be a new addiction, according to a new Retrevo Gadgetology study. Salaciously enough, 11 percent of those under 25 say they would let a social media message interrupt sex. I’m not here to judge. I’m more interested in the rising level of engagement people have with social media. After all, it can be a fulfilling and productive use of time personally, professionally and fiscally.

Music Site Gives Meaning To A Song’s Lyrics
I like listening to music. And for the last two years, thanks to a great gift from my office family, I also like playing it. So what if it’s just Rock Band.
Playing this game is not only good family fun and even good party fun, but it also gives you the correct lyrics to all [...]
Yoono, Now More Than Ever
Back in November we covered the Firefox add-on/desktop application Yoono. As a Christmas present, the folks over at Yoono HQ gave us an updated version of the application a couple weeks ago, and is it ever sweet.
Upon downloading the newest version, I immediately noticed a change in aesthetics and in operations: Yoono now sports a [...]

Facebook revisits their Privacy Policy. And users will hate it.
Last night Facebook announced that they’re going to undertake a major overhaul of their Privacy Policy. And in my opinion, it’s long overdue — and people will hate it. The blog, posted Tuesday night, has already generated more than 17,000+ comments with mixed reactions as of this morning.
