I just created an account with Postling, postling.com, which is an excellent tool for managing all of your social media pages all in one spot. I highly recommend it for those companies that are trying to manage multiple blogs, facebook pages and twitter feeds for multiple brands. Post once and send it everywhere!
I just came across this genius idea that Heineken came up with. The idea for the viral video was fantastic, but I really like how they added the internet reaction to the end of the piece. You can read more about it here.
Many people think that viral videos are more fluff than substance when it comes to actually generating results for a marketing campaign. It’s hard to measure the ROI on a viral video because often times there is no direct call to action, so there is no quantitative metric to evaluate. But that’s not what viral marketing campaigns are all about. They are about brand immersion. They are about getting people to talk about your company. The Heineken video does a fantastic job of that.

Blue Avenue Media is proud to announce the launch of www.mustangbuildings.com. The goal was to two-fold — to display the quality work that Mustang Buildings had already produced and to provide an easy way for potential customers to get quotes on new projects. The site prominently displays many images of Mustang Buildings constructions throughout the site, including a flash banner on the home page and an interactive photo gallery page. The site also incorporates two extensive questionairre forms for the customers to fill out in order for Mustang Buildings to provide them with an accurate estimate.
I remember when I learned Photoshop in high school so that I could scan in photos for the school yearbook. The tools were pretty much limited to changing the hue and saturation and cropping and resizing. Look what you can do now… From animating images to distorting perspective and creating 3D photos — there really isn’t much that you can’t do with Photoshop anymore.
I prefer to use Photoshop when I’m mocking up a design for a web site. A lot of people prefer Illustrator. Both are great tools. I like the way that Photoshop handles gradients and strokes/lines better. Illustrator is nice because you can click directly on an object to edit it without necessarily being on that object’s layer. When it comes down to it, it really is just a matter of personal preference. For me, I think it’s just because I have been using Photoshop longer and am more comfortable with it than Illustrator.
