In Our Server We Trust
Monday, October 20th, 2008
With expanding wine lists, selecting a wine can be harder than it seems. This is when we entrust our taste buds with our server who is supposed to be knowledgeable in both food and wine. Sure, we bullshit to a certain extent only because we really aren’t too sure if that $200 bottle of wine develops from white pepper to smoke with a hint of cocoa on the end. We only know as much as you do sometimes.
Is it the server’s fault they lack the tools to enrich your meal?
Yes and no.

A Few Tips For Climbing The Search Engines
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008
After our recent post highlighting a recent duplicate content issue we faced, we decided it would be a good time to start giving out free advice for building your web rankings.
One of our most commonly requested services is web site optimization. Unfortunately (and fortunately) web developers are just now starting to implement a better practice of building sites to be search engine friendly. As web development continues to be outsourced, many developers just don’t feel like putting in that little bit of extra effort that truly does go a long way.
You may be familiar with some of the following issues, as I’m trying to keep this list simple, but hopefully there are a few gems that may help you on your way to the top. If you have any questions, don’t be shy to comment and we’ll help in every way we can. (more…)

Twine sparks the semantic web
Sunday, March 9th, 2008
We’ve been following Twine for a good bit now, and are very excited to see it finally open in Beta. Twine is a tool that allows individuals, and more importantly, teams, to send items such as emails, notes, presentations, documents, webpages, pictures, and any other material involved in your personal and professional life to a twine or personal page. Their cutting edge semantic inferencing engine will then organize the data for you, helping you to gain a clearer perspective on what you and your team are working on, and also bring in creative recommendations from other individuals and teams with statistically and linguistically correlated twines.
We are especially interested in this because as a startup team, Twine’s system will prove invaluable in increasing productivity and creativity by having an outside party/unbiased mediator (their semantic inferencing engine) analyze our information and help align our thoughts and ideas. As a team, there is a commonality and vision that brings us together and binds us, but unfortunately without a purely unbiased outsider, the differences of each persons’ perceptions will leak into the project and slow it down due to self-interest. However, if you are sending your data to a team page/twine and their inferencing engine is what it is cracked up to be, then it will undoubtedly show us the most important linguistic and semantic components of our project, allowing us to creatively and productively move forward at a faster and more competitive pace.

We highly recommend the book for anyone who wants to become a multimillionaire entrepreneur. If there’s ever a book that has the potential to be life changing, Zero to One Million is it. Ryan is trying to reach a lifetime goal and get to #1 on Amazon.com today and has created a compelling reason to buy the book today.
Ryan built three companies to over $1 million in sales by age 21, raised over five million dollars in venture capital at age 22, and today at age 23 runs an 85 person company in North Carolina called iContact that does over ten million dollars in annual sales. Ryan knows what he’s doing when it comes to business.
The full title of the book is ‘Zero to One Million: How I Built a Company to $1 Million in Sales… And How You Can Too.’ If you want to become a multimillionaire entrepreneur, this really is a no-BS step-by-step guide.
Today, Ryan is running a promotion to help him get to the #1 spot on Amazon.
When you buy Ryan’s book for $11.53 on Amazon today you will receive six bonus gifts including a video from Ryan on how to raise $5 million in venture capital at age 22 and valuable DVD and PDF report bonuses from Buck Rizvi, Derek Gehl, Carlos Garcia, Shawn Casey, and Tom Bell. Just email the Amazon receipt to bonus@zeromillion.com with The Pay it Forward Chronicles in the subject line to receive the bonuses.
You’ll also receive a special video from Ryan: How Our Generation Will Change the World… A Plan for the Future.
NOW HERE’S THE PAY IT FORWARD KICKER: All of the proceeds from Zero to One Million are going to Ryan’s non-profit organization The Humanity Campaign, which works to reduce poverty and hunger in developing nations by increasing access to education, healthcare, and technology.
