Google Tools You May Not Know About and Some You Should Stay Away From
We are pretty sure that most people know Google offers a wide variety of applications from Adsense to word processing. Some of these are heavily geared towards larger businesses but many are geared towards smaller businesses. While most of these are really great and should be used by any business, there are a few out there that should not be. Chances are you have no idea which ones are which.
What is Twitter
Many people in the B2B world are still very new to Social Networks and marketing. Twitter is becoming more and more of a household name in that arena. Basically the idea of Twitter is for individuals to engage in short conversations with one another that are open for all to join in on. It takes the idea of social media and amplifies it.
Calvauto.com - Featured Site
The Calvary Automation web site www.calvauto.com was a major web site redesign project. The existing site at the time of the redesign was a simple HTML web site that Calvary maintained minimally for years that did not reflect the growth, new services and operational excellence that they had since achieved. TrueNorth was asked to build a new site based on a strategy and structure that elevated Calvary into the ranks of the foremost automation companies of the world.
Demystifying RSS
You are probably wondering what all of this talk of RSS (RSS feeds, aggregators and readers) is and are having trouble figuring it all out. TrueNorth wants to help you out.

Essential FireFox Add-Ons
By now almost everyone is using FireFox for web browsing. IE6 & 7 are a not far behind but FireFox is, for now, the frontrunner. It also happens to be the browser of choice for me on a MAC. A major factor in this is its Add-on capability that launches it way past Safari (the next logical choice for MAC users).
As great as FireFox is, Add-ons make it much better and they can be used in any number of combinations making FireFox as customizable as you may want it to be. To help you get the most out of FireFox, I am listing some of the top Add-ons as well as a couple personal favorites.
Create your own custom iPhone icon for your website
If you own an iPhone you may have noticed that you can bookmark websites and add them to your home screen. I am sure you are thinking how cool it would be for your site to have one of those hot icons right on your phone. It is actually a very simple thing to do if you have an image editor and access to your web site directories. You don’t even need to know HTML, however it wouldn’t hurt.
