Our New WordPress Website Portfolio Page
As discussed in previous editions of "It's a Wonderful Web," ComBridges is most frequently designing and implementing websites these days utilizing WordPress as a user-friendly CMS (content management system) as well as a state-of-the-art blogging platform. For your convenience, we have created a new page which contains links to some of our most recent WordPress productions. Please check it out.
A Neat Upgrade: The New Twitter.com
Twitter is a more powerful marketing platform than most people realize. For example, FastCompany recently reported, "Twitter Crushing Facebook's Click-Through Rate: Report" (FYI, this link was originally posted to the ComBridges business-only Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/combrides.fb Please "Like" if you want more info like this.)
The new Twitter website is currently being rolled out worldwide, and the announcement press conference offered some interesting insights while also demonstrating new features that will enhance the power of Twitter. Jon watched the press conference live via an ad hoc webcast and noted among other things:
- “You don’t have to tweet to use Twitter.” You can just use it to access information, insights and links from only the 'tweeps' that you find to be of interest.
- The new Twitter website will include a more interactive second-column (or pane) that will allow you to learn more about individual tweeters, as well as to view pictures or videos linked by them, all without having to click to “open” a new web browser window.
