Many people I speak to and clients I work with are still using Internet Explorer version 6.

This browser was launched in 2001, that’s 8 years ago. In internet terms that’s the equivalent of 32 years! (given the rate at which the internet evolves).

Most people upgrade or change their computer every 2-3 years so why are so many people still using IE6? Read the rest of this entry »

I am getting more and more clients asking me about Twitter, what it is and how they should use it. This post will form the first part in a series on Twitter for business.

To start off with the guys over at Rocketboom have created one of the best overviews of Twitter and what it means in terms of the overall Internet landscape. Check it out and then come back for an explanation of how to use Twitter and then Twitter for business.

That’s right, sometimes you do get something for nothing (well almost).  As part of the Government stimulus package:

A potential 30% tax deduction is available on the cost of a new website paid for before June 30th 2009!

We have it on advice from the Australian Taxation Office, that if you purchase a new website before 30th June 2009, you may be eligible for a 30% tax deduction on its cost in addition to any other tax deductions available.

What does this mean to me?

If you purchased a new website from Flow today which included:

* Unique custom design based on your business goals
* Carefully crafted content
* Search engine optimisation
* Content Management System
* Guaranteed listing in Google
* For the investment of just $4000

You could save $1200!

That’s right a $1200 saving that helps your business grow, helps you earn more money and all for the average cost of just $2800!

But hurry this incentive is only available to those who pay for their website before June 30th 2009, there can be up to a 6 week lead time to design and develop a website so time is running out.

Also be aware that this incentive applies to capital investment for business. So you could buy a new computer or other asset and potentially receive the same tax relief!

Please note: This article is not intended as financial advice and you should always check with your accountant or financial advisor to ensure this applies to you before investing any money.

This 4 minute video is awesome. It presents some amazing statistics about today’s modern world that really make you stop and think. 

A very nicely designed presentation. Check it out below:
