Small business: up to speed on domain hosting?

by Bill on August 3, 2010

I’ve encountered a number of clients who have been paying for domain registration and hosting with no idea of what a competitive price would be.

Social networks, tools, utility and noise

by Bill on January 15, 2009

There is some irony in this post about social tools, like Twitter, in that I’ll probably tweet this (is that the correct terminology?) and maybe even post it as a note on Facebook. This is about social tools and noise and it’s prompted by a blog post titled 20 days off from Twitter: A View [...]
