After spending some time on the web today researching a few web design tpics, I ran into a very peculiar concept: a CMS system based entirely in Flash. Is it possible? Oh, it’s very possible, and it’s in active beta as you read this!

FlashMoto is a groundbreaking script based on Adobe’s ever popular Flash. As more and more websites turn to Flash for enhanced UI, visual effects, and heightened creativity, there have not been many frameworks for developers to work with and base their applications around Flash. However, although it may seem like a real hassle, the development team with FlashMoto really did a great job Continue reading…

After Digg’s huge success, there were bound to be many copycat sites. The first popular site exploding on the net was Design Float, a great Digg-style site made for graphic and web designers. Soon after Design Float had many failures regarding server capacity and traffic loads, a new site based on Drigg (plugin for Drupal to act as a Digg site) sprung into the market. This site was DesignBump.

I have used DesignBump a few times to gain some traffic to my blog, and I have noticed a very large increase in the number of referring visitors. The site has grown substantially in the past month or two, and it has really started to enter the “mainstream”. However, DesignBump was recently down for a day or two after performing some renovations to their design… and what great renovations they did! Continue reading…

There aren’t many of us who are interested in the actual techniques behind it, understanding internet trends and realizing just how making money online actually works. I think of myself as one of these people and I’m always questioning new ways and possibilities for making money online.

This isn’t a dream which is easy to achieve and definitely won’t happen overnight or over a couple of months, but with enough determination it’s not impossible to be making $1,000 a month within half a year. I’ve outlined a few tips below which I think should help all marketers and bloggers interested in getting started in the business.

Nothing says design inspiration like taking a week off to go travel Hawaii or live in a big city. However, not everybody has money to be spending to take expensive trips around the world.. so we look at the internet as a backup. There are tons of travel websites out there, and I have scoured the web and found 26 of my personal favorites. These sites demonstrate not only a large amount of creativity, but also posses ease of navigation and a friendly, welcoming feeling. Enjoy the collection, and don’t get too inspired!

I have seen many different pieces of software out there, ranging from Craigslist posters to MySpace Friend Adder’s and Automated Diggers, but I have never heard as much hype as I have with Bookmarking Demon. I have not actually tried Bookmarking Demon myself, but I am contemplating purchasing it.

Originally priced at $197, the software is discounted at $50 for a limited time and is being sold at $147. Although still pretty steep for some software, it apparently comes with a lifetime of updates and support, although how long will the software stick around for updates? I have purchased some pieces of software relating to social networking (mostly Twitter and Facebook related), but Bookmarking Demon is supposed to take care of Continue reading…
