In the 3/25/2008 weekly newsletter, I told you about some clueless clients I recently heard about. So that nobody would get in trouble, I called the design firm Ultimate Designers and the clients Clueless Company.

Clueless Company hired Ultimate Designers to create a quick and dirty Web site, with the understanding that Ultimate would design a more well-researched replacement site as soon as Clueless got past a pressing deadline.

Business Technology Summit 2010 – India's First, Largest and Single-most Inspirational Technology Show

Doing business is a roller coaster ride where you are dealing with ‘n’ number of people for various purposes, and it is very important that you know how to retain your customers. Any service-oriented business having online presence needs now to be faster and more responsive than ever which is possible by deploying Rich Internet Applications (RIA). It is a new approach to the custom web application that followed a client-server architecture restricted by HTML specifications.

Quark Promote (www.quarkpromote.com) sells brochures, business cards, letterhead, postcards, and other marketing materials to small businesses. Customers choose from free customizable templates; download a Windows-only template editor; and change the template as desired. Quark Promote then either prints the materials and mails them to the customer, or sends the files to a local print shop.

In the U.S., Google Book Settlement is the headline at water cooler
discussions on copyright, and the Orphan Works Act has stalled
temporarily, in part because the Senate Judiciary Committee is
preoccupied with things like trying terrorists. Meanwhile in Europe,
they have been burning the midnight oil to change their copyright
laws to reflect Orphan Works, the Google Book Settlement, content

designed primarily to appease the U.S. Justice Department, which has
expressed anti-trust concerns, as well as objections by foreign
countries, such as France and Germany, which have raised
international political pressure relating to copyright laws and
treaties because of GBS.

Hi,

I would be interested to hear from anybody that would like to swap links or have a small banner add for my services on their website, in return for a similar banner add on my site. Obviously there would need to be no conflicts of interest.
My site is:

Time magazine won the 2009 World Press Photo of the Year. It can command as many as 40 million readers worldwide, if you include Web site readership. And yet, both the bomb and change jar in these covers came from iStockphoto.

Talk about a new frugality.

For many creative pros, 2009 has been a financially painful year.
