Twitter + Facebook
In the current world of social media, there are two sites emerging. These two sites are rising above all other social media to become superpowers in the internet world. As you may have guessed, these two sites just happen to be Twitter and Facebook.
Both of these networks offer tools for businesses, and businesses worldwide are taking advantage of them. In fact, a company’s profile on Twitter and Facebook is possibly becoming more important than the company’s actual website! Whether that statement is true or not, we do know that social media is only going to get more important as time progresses.
Although Facebook has many more users, one might argue that there are more mature users on Twitter. This is possibly true considering Twitter has targeted an older audience. Since the majority of businesses are also targeted towards this older group, Twitter can’t be ignored! Facebook, however, does have more users, and should be taken quite seriously. In the end, your business can’t go wrong by joining both sites.
Getting on Facebook and Twitter is not nearly as important as keeping your Facebook and Twitter updated. Yes, you heard me. Signing up for both networks and them ignoring them will not help your business in the slightest! Keep your fans/followers informed by constantly posting links, pictures, videos, etc.
On the ever-changing world wide web, it can be tough to stay with the latest trends. It’s easy for any business to fall behind in the maelstrom of amendments to the internet. For now and the near future, social media is hot on the market, so get your business on Facebook and Twitter.

Top 10 Website Designs
As a designer, I am always on the lookout for cool websites so I can steal ideas and keep up with the going trends in web design. Over the years there have been a few sites that I absolutely love and would like to share with you.
I have titled this article “Top 10 Website Designs” but I hope you realize that this is just based on what I’ve seen and what I like best. I know that, as with any “Top 10″ article, there will be lots of debate as to what really are the top ten best looking websites. Nevertheless, I will take the risk of giving you my opinion on the subject.
10. Facebook Yes, to all you MySpace lovers, I think Facebook looks a whole lot better than it’s inferior competitor: simple, and easy to navigate. Is it perfect? No, that’s why it’s not number one!
9. Twitter OK, maybe Facebook looks slightly better than Twitter; however, I like the logo better than Facebook’s.
8. Web Design Blog I do realize that this is one of my competitors and I do think my site looks better 
However, I will not post my own website on this list (despite my temptation to do so). I also think that they did a very good job of making everything simple, and maintaining the cool dark look.
7. IconBuffet This website puts gradients to a very good use and has a beautiful color scheme.
6. Adobe I personally think Adobe’s site is slightly too busy. However, they are advertising flash and other amazing web tools, so I think they can get away with being slightly crazy in their designs! Other than that, their website is super cool!!
5. Google OK, I do have to put everybody’s favorite website on here! (Well, almost everybody’s.)
4. Bing Although I personally like Google better as a search engine, the design of Bing’s site is truly amazing!
3. Mozilla I love the many cool backgrounds on their site that are constantly changing!
2. M&Ms After all, don’t we all just love that snack??
1. Apple Besides making the best computer products in the world, Apple made no mistake when it designed this gorgeous website. The color scheme is simple and it is very well balanced.
Well, that’s the end of my opinions on website design. I hope, after you comment with your opinion, this list will help you out, and maybe even inspire you to start a project of your own!

Using Facebook to Market Your Business
Getting your business on social media sites has always been important. And now, with Google Caffeine’s release just starting to take effect, social media is more important than ever! But, believe it or not, some social media sites are more important than others. You guessed it…Facebook is one of the important ones!
Why is putting your face on some social media site going to help your business?!! Well, personally getting on Facebook, or any social media for that matter, will not help your business. But, after getting an account with Facebook, members will have the option to create their very own fan page. What is this? A fan page is like a special page on Facebook for businesses/organizations. Members can become a fan of such pages, and when they do they will see whatever you post to your page. The more fans a given page has, the more popular and more Google friendly it will be. Creating a fan page is easy to do, and it will pay off! You may never use your personal Facebook account, but you will be able to advertise your business through a fan page.
Although you may not get any business from your fans, Google will see your page. If Google sees your page, it will also see any links you post to your website. When Google sees these links to your site, your ranking will get higher! So, please understand, although you may not get positive feedback from anybody on Facebook, your ranking on Google will grow.

Social Media Websites
The last post I did was on blogging, in today’s post I want to point out other places you can post tips. There are tons of social media sites out there. You can post all the tips you post on your blog, on social media sites; this will really help market your site. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and Identi, just to name a few, are great places to post your content. After you get a blog up and running, start signing up for these social media sites – you won’t be sorry you did!! After signing up for these, start looking into more; you can never sign up for too many social media sites. Even places like Youtube and Flickr can help market your site.
Also, don’t forget to check me out on your favorite social media sites. I am constantly signing up for more communities. You can see a current list of all of the social media sites I’m on by going to my web design website.
