What is Foursquare and How Can it Help My Business?
Foursquare (http://foursquare.com) has been taking the world by storm over the past few months with its unique blend of social networking, status updates, business review and location based gaming. If you’re not familiar with it, Foursquare is an app that runs on your location aware mobile device. It allows its users to discover what’s around them in “the real world,” share their activity and location with their group of friends and compete with each other by earning points and unlocking badges. With Foursquare’s popularity comes a great opportunity for businesses to promote themselves to a new audience and a new way to reward their most loyal customers.

GAPA Leads the Way with New Video Project
Author’s note, this was posted by Brandon on behalf of Carmel Hearn
They say that seeing is believing. And that’s why we believe a video is a GREAT way to get your message across to your target audience. So, in 2009, we were excited the Georgia Association of Physician Assistants asked O’Neill Communications to produce a new video for the organization about the great benefits GAPA offers. We had previously produced their first membership video in 2007, and it had served the association well, but it was time for something new. We took advantage of the opportunity to shoot interviews and footage at their summer conference in July on Hilton Head Island, and edited the footage into four 2-minute videos that were chaptered into a DVD and mailed to more than 4,000 PAs across Georgia in December. “GAPA – Leading the Way for Georgia PAs” illustrates that a membership in the Association is one of the best investments that PAs and their employers can make to ensure their professional development. It shows what really happens at a GAPA conference, from the continuing medical education courses to the fun activities that conference attendees and their families can enjoy. The interviews with GAPA members show the passion they have for the organization that represents them well at the legislative level.

Best New Features of LinkedIn
LinkedIn, the popular social network for businesses, has gone through some big changes recently. It’s still one of the only social networks to go against Facebook and hold it’s own. While many of LinkedIn’s recent improvements bare strikingly similar properties to features on Facebook, some of them do not and are quite innovative. We’re going to look at seven of my favorite recent new features in this article. All of these were implemented within the last quarter. Pretty impressive! (more…)

When developing and designing websites, handy icons can be a real life saver.

Below are links to some of my favorite free sets that I think you’ll enjoy! (more…)

Logo Design. Ideas to help communicate your brand’s image.
Your brand’s logo is the most important communication device your company will ever possess. It is your ambassador to foreign lands, your customer service representative and the coat of arms for your “army” of employees. We happen to live in a very visual world and assessments are made on appearances all the time.
