Criteria for Choosing a Web Developer
at 4:27 am on Thursday, 12 November 2009
It’s easier to find web developers and web development services these days. You can easily find hundreds of them in your local listings and on the internet. If you’re putting up a website for your business, you can’t just settle with the first company that you stumble into, however. Here are some of the things that your web developer should have.
• Credentials – It’s important to hire a developer with considerable experience and a proven track record of creating websites that are delivering significant returns on the client investment. You want to work with someone who can deliver good business results and not just a website that looks good.
• Commitment – You need to find a web development firm that will stay with you until the end. There are just too many reports of developers promising topnotch design services only to leave their clients hanging because of problems along the way. Make sure the hosting services are reliable as well.
• Creativity – Obviously, your web designer and developer has to inject a healthy dose of creativity into the project. You might want to consider professionals with a proven streak for putting up unique websites that do not just follow the current trends.
• Business sense – A good developer should understand the nature of your industry and your business in particular. He has to be both creative and business-minded. It’s one thing to have significant web industry experience but it’s quite another to have sufficient understanding of how businesses work.
• SEO capabilities – For a web development project to be effective, the website has to be launched in a way that users will find it easily. There’s no use having a developer if he cannot use resources to establish your online visibility.
• Updated skills base – Developers have to keep up with trends and new technologies. Go with a company that is updated to the latest in his industry and exhibits a willingness to change quickly to address industry requirements efficiently

At War With The Internet
at 6:40 am on Tuesday, 3 November 2009
When it comes to sales of technology products over the Internet, there are now two factors that potential buyers must consider as possibly ‘too good to be true’. In the past, there was only price to worry about. If the price was too low, buyer beware. But now a second factor has emerged, in the form of a new kind of company for web surfers to consider as possibly also ‘too good to be true’. For if this company is ‘good’, then a new revolution on the web is about to occur. Because if this company is ‘true’, then the cleansing of the internet of corruption and lies has finally begun in earnest, with one company willing to police itself.
Enter TheHonestCompany.com, a website where its founder posts his experiences with internet fraud and his motives for fighting back against a corrupt web right on their home page. A trip to this companies ‘about us’ page serves to quickly establish their position as the anti-fraud internet company, numbering abusive tactics used by hoaxsters and detailing their humble beginnings from an LA area backyard garage to a B2B powerhouse that now offers almost 100,000 computer related items from a network of 23 distribution centers nationwide.
This may someday be ‘made for the movies’ stuff if it’s true. Move over Microsoft, Apple, and HP – here’s what could (hopefully) be the beginning of another rags to riches story with an ‘honest’ plot twist! An honest reseller bashes Internet scammers, preferring to do business the hard way – the honest way. Are we dreaming? Could this be real? Could the days when ‘The Customer is King’ be making a comeback in of all places, the web?
TheHonestCompany.com expects to earn a significant portion of the home and SMB computing technology markets web-based sales over the next few years.
“Top-tier technology resellers like CDW and CompUSA will not bother us as we will not impact them. They have decent reputations, loyal customers, and higher prices. It’s the second-tier, priced-based 90% of their smaller competitors that we are fighting,” says the founder of TheHonestCompany.com, David Johnston, “Those guys have corrupted the Internet and seriously hurt honest companies like ours. Every-time some scam web company rips off a customer, somewhere else a real person at a real company gets hurt too. By using honesty as a weapon, we intend bring the web consumer something they are starving for by making the web a better place to shop – it’s a dirty job that no other company was willing to be the first to start doing.”
According to David, Internet technology consumers have no idea of the great extent that fraud permeates the web. He says that if every web consumer knew what he knew about the extent of internet fraud, they’d pick one or two honest, technology web sales companies to do business with and lay low for awhile, because he says he’s got some serious mud to start slinging as his company gears up for an upcoming advertising and marketing blitz. “There’s a massive pack of internet companies pretending to be real when they are not. Most other legitimate web companies have been acting rather sheepish. I intend to kill wolves by exposing them as what they really are to the Internet public.”
David is a man on a mission, passionate and articulate in his vision of his companies place on the web and their future. He leaves no doubt about this as he summarizes his company’s identity.
“TheHonestCompany.com is transforming the web purchasing experience by providing web shoppers with a trusted, reliable source of technology products along with prices far below those of most traditionally recognized web retailers. With a staff of top-notch industry professionals at its core, offering prompt and full service to each and every customer, The Company encourages phone calls from any customer with questions or comments before, during, and after a purchase. TheHonestCompany.com does not outsource, does not spam, and does not sell or share its customer’s personal information. The company operates as a safe-haven for the price conscious customer leery of unbelievable prices from no-name websites, restoring confidence in buying over the web. This is business done right.”
Bravo, David. Honestly, it’s about time!
Derek Kadonaga has worked in the retail technology industry for over 10 years, first as an executive with CompUSA. In the past several years he has applied his industry knowledge to helping technology start-ups.

CECT I9 3g Mobile Phone – What’s Changed since the Original I9?
at 3:33 am on Thursday, 14 May 2009
Since the release of CECT i9 3G in early 2009 there has been a lot of questions about the new features . Users want to know what’s been upgraded on it, how it’s different from the best selling cect i9, and whether it’s just the 3rd generation of the phone or whether it actually works on 3G networks. Lets reveal whats has actually been changed.
The new i9 3G has adopted the looks of iPhone 3G. One of major difference with this phone is the rounded back that also defines the new iPhone. This gives it a bit of a more streamlined appearance than the i9. It also feature a 3G logo on the back cover. The housing is a also a bit thicker and shinier (almost like a lap top) and you have the options of black and white finishes.
A lot more icons on display to navigate through. Probably the biggest upgrade to this phone over the previous i9 is that it allows for a lot more customization. There are now no less than ten pages of icons available. Basically, any tool, setting, or application on this phone can have it’s own icon. You can also create icons for websites that you frequently visit. Examples are You Tube, Weather, Stocks, Google Maps, your local weather, etc. This phone has the finger touch interface, like the old CECT i9, so you can drag and arrange the icons however you want them. Like the previous i9, this one supports Java, is a quad band, has dual sim active, and has the shake and tilt feature. It also has Bluetooth, MP3 / MP4, ebook reader, FM radio, digital camera and web cam, and expandable memory.
So, does 3G mean that the CECT i9 3G suports 3rd generation networks or it is simply a marketing strategy? The only networks that use GSM sim cards are going to work on this phone. 3G networks like Verizon and Sprint do not fit into this category and will not work. But, AT&T and T Mobile fit this bill as well as Rogers, Fido and Cingular. The 3G cards from AT&T and Cingular do work on this phone, but since the data is transferred via GPRS and WAP rather than EDGE, you may or may not get the speed that you expected.
Thre have been plenty of wholesale iPhone clones since its debut. The CECT i9 3G is a pretty cool one, but the main difference between it and the i9 is the rounded edge, the customization of the icons, and the cooler looking housing. The price is still pretty low, even on this newest model. If you already have the i9, it may or may not be worth upgrading depending on how important these things are to you. So if you always wanted to own an iPhone but never wanted to pay too much the i9 3G is a good option.
