I love all this cool street graffiti you see these days, here is a great example of some 3-D work.

Awesome Graffiti

It seems in a tough economy everyone is looking to stand out in the crowd when making their sales pitch.  There was a recent auction on eBay where someone was selling a notebook computer, much like 100’s of others but this one has a little something special with it.

Includes over 50 full length porn movies (100 hours)

What a deal, ummmm, I didn’t buy it though.

When I first saw this ad I was shocked at how bad it was…now I like Jerry and think his stand-up and show are the bomb, but this was so bad I actually had to close my eyes then turn the channel.

Brand Keys, a market research company, did a direct comparison of Microsoft and Apple ads over the last two months. Aside from the obvious conclusions, Amy Shea, executive VP of Brand Keys, had this to say in reference to the doomed to be classic ‘fail’-worthy Gates/Seinfeld clip:

On the other hand, Microsoft’s “Shoe Circus,” in which Mr. Seinfeld helped Mr. Gates buy shoes, failed miserably with consumers. After seeing the ad, both Apple and Microsoft users had a more negative perception of Microsoft in the areas of innovation, technology, trouble-free design, and warranty and pricing. “When you see an ad perform this poorly,” said Amy Shea, the executive vice president at Brand Keys who conducted the research, “you’ve got a real problem.”

The picture just about says it all

Sex still sells, apparently!

Building a website is a must for any business these days.  Even if you don’t think you will get direct customers over the web you still want to at least have a resource and precense to keep up with your competition.  Truth-be-told I can’t think of any business that would not benifit directly from having a website in todays global type economy.

The number one reason one many companies do not have a website is concerns over the cost of having it built but there are some great places to find pre-made templates that are attractive and cost-effective.  Boring, unfunctional web design is a thing of the past and some of the sites like www.webdesign.org are a complete resource solution.  If you want a unique template designed or a fantastic pre-designed template you can now find it all in one place.

Don’t wait another minute because your compeition likely already has a website or is in the planning stages of developing one.  Take the first step and start researching your move into the Wold Wide Web.
