Hey folks, just wanted to let you know that I've been quoted in a recent article on Inc.com. The story is called "Has Your Business Outgrown its Web Developer?" The article covers some pretty key points about how small to medium sized businesses should think about their websites. They are more than just a pretty face for your business! Check it out and let me know what you think.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed about my experiences starting my own company (this one!) by the folks at Gaebler Ventures. Check out the interview here and check out the rest of Gaebler.com for a slew of great entrepreneurial resources and inspiration.

A knol is a unit of knowledge, and is also Google’s latest invention. Similar to the popular Wikipedia, Knol is a hybrid of an encyclopedia, article submission site, and link aggregator. It allows users to take credit for their work while submitting their view and opinion of a subject. These Knols can also be edited by other users at the writer’s approval. It allows more than one article to be submitted on the same subject, expanding ideas and views. The real kicker comes in when Google adds in their AdSense revenue split advertising system to the formula. People who write Knols’ can also register for an AdSense account which allows them to profit off of the ads on their Knols. The incentives are high for users who want to create multiple Knols (usually on a similar subject) just so that ads can be placed and they have a higher chance of people clicking them.

The folks at Google announced yesterday that their latest algorithm release will now be able to crawl and index text-based content that is inside Flash files. I love their wording…

In the past, web designers faced challenges if they chose to develop a site in Flash because the content they included was not indexable by search engines.
