Stumble Upon
Friday, June 12, 2009
This is a great tool for discovering new websites that you might not otherwise come across. We use it for inspiration and for generally discovering new things. Light relief from our own websites! install a toolbar for your firefox browser and whenever you have 5 minutes click the stumble button. You will be taken to a random website that may be of interest to you. You can select which subjects you are most interested in and tag your favorites. The more you tag and interact with stumble the better if gets at directing you to things you will genuinely be interested in.

Registering Domain Names
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Registering Domain names is simple and easy. Coming up with a domain name that is easy to remember, applicable to your business and available is another thing! Here are a few pointers:
1. Try and keep it as short of possible. Remember this domain can also be used for your email addresses. the last thing you want is someones.namehere @ reallylongdomainname.com a bit of a mouthful and takes up half the page!
2. Make it easy to say and spell. That way they will remember it and reach your site.
3. If you are a UK business register the .co.uk domain and use it as your primary domain. Register the .com and .net to protect your brand. If you are an international company then the .com or .net may be preferable.
4. Try and use keywords in your domain. This will help Search Engine Optimisation and give people an insight into what your business does immediately.
If you are struggling to find a registrant to trust, use http://www.123-reg.co.uk
It has loads of domains extensions including quite a few international domain extensions.

37 Signals is a fabulous company! We use many of their tools including Basecamp and Highrise. A great tool they provide for free is their Ta Da List, an easy way to keep online to-do lists. The handy aspect of Ta Da List is you can share the list with whoever you want - best when the list you are writing is for them as well!
