Imagine the Web in 20 Years?
text before content
The late Eighties! Mike and the Mechanics were at the top of the charts, George Bush, Senior had just become President of the US, and a CERN contractor by the name of Tim Berners-Lee was busy writing a little paper entitled Information Management: A Proposal. In it he described a way to simplify the sharing of information among people in different locations. He gave it to his manager, Mike Sendall, who thought it was “vague, but exciting.”
Over the following year, Tim and his colleague, Robert Cailliau, refined the idea and updated the proposal. It described a concept called a “WorldWideWeb” — a simple interface for browsing large quantities of information, using hypertext to link documents. Within just a few years it had grown well beyond CERN and the academic realm, and public use of the Internet exploded thanks to this new, more intuitive interface.
It’s amazing to think about how much the Web’s developed since then. We’ve seen:
- some of the earliest browsers, such as the WorldWideWeb Browser, Cello, and Mosaic
- early debates about the semantic meaning of HTML (where did we go wrong?)
- the first appearance of JavaScript and its amazing new features
- the first steps into ecommerce
- the browser wars (Netscape Now!)
- the dot-com bubble and its subsequent implosion
- some new up-and-comer called Google
- the first blogs
- YouTube
- the beginnings of the social web, with sites like Orkut and Friendster
- the mobile web on phones, handhelds, and tiny laptops
It’s hard to imagine now what life would be like without the Web. Even more obscure to me is this: what would we all be doing if there were no Web, and thus no Web developers, managers, sysadmins, writers, or designers? Twenty years ago I was 12 years old and daydreamed about inventing things. None of my friends and family — including me — would have predicted that my career would be what it is right now.
What’s next for the Web? In twenty years’ time I’ll be pushing fifty and I’m without a clue as to what could be happening by then. In the shorter term, though, I think we’ll see lots of fun stuff develop. Here are three growing trends that I’m excited to watch over the next few years.
Even more web-based applications: Web-based apps have been around for awhile, so this is a no-brainer, but I think it’ll go gangbusters once popular apps reach the mainstream. Thinking about great web apps like 280 Slides, the Aviary graphics apps, Google Apps, and Photoshop Express, I think it’s fair to say that we’re well on the way to a world where everyone — not just us geeks — find it easy to manipulate and store files online. As these applications become simpler and more enjoyable to use, the more likely Joe Sixpack is to adopt it. Best of all, the ability to create brilliant, useful, and unique apps is increasingly available to web developers like you and me.

How Much Money Should Small Businesses Spend on Marketing?
text before content
Do you have a marketing budget set aside to promote your small business each year? Marketing experts typically recommend that you reserve as much as 10% of your small business’ gross sales for marketing. That includes advertising, promotions, direct mail, giveaways like magnets and such, promotional signage, and so on. The question is whether or not 10% is realistic for your small business or not.
There are several factors to consider when determining your annual marketing budget:
First, the amount of money you spend on marketing should be directly related to the growth stage of your business. Is your business still in its infancy, or is your business mature and well-known? The stage of your business certainly impacts how much money you need to spend to promote it. What industry does your business operate in? Different industries require varying marketing investments to remain competitive. On that note, what are your competitors doing? It’s important to maintain a level playing field at the very least.
Second, you need to plan what new products, services or enhancements you’ll introduce to your small business in the upcoming year. Naturally, if you’re launching a new product, you’ll need to invest enough in the marketing of that product to raise awareness and recognition of it.
Third, you need to determine what business goals you have set. If you want to grow your business by a certain amount within the next year, you need to invest enough money in promotional efforts to help you get there.
Bottom-line, you should invest 5%-10% of your gross sales into your marketing budget. Make a plan before the new year starts and stick to it. Set aside a bit of your budget for opportunities that might arise throughout the year. Most importantly, use your marketing budget. It might sound like a great idea to hold onto that money if your business is doing well, but to grow, you need to reinvest in marketing your business.

Peel ads peel away the difficulty of catching a customer’s attention.
Peel ads peel away the difficulty of catching a customer’s attention.
On the internet the biggest battle for advertisers is catching a customer’s attention and then holding it long enough for them to actually absorb the message of the advert and do something.
There are many reasons for this: Too many adverts, too little time, and too many other distractions and, of course, the ability of those on the receiving end of advertising’s entreaties to just click away on to another page.
Losing clicks–Such is the drive to attract advertising interest that on the net, as advertising budgets, grow, the challenge to create compelling advertising campaigns grows with them. The old means of flash banners or even old, tired static banners have failed to produce results and the more innovative means of producing videos and sustained multi-channel campaigns are both untried in terms of results and expensive to implement.
That left those wanting to advertise with very few options indeed. The net is clearly too good a medium to ignore but too inconsistent and difficult to get right. Until now, that is.
Peel away ads unique appeal are new, innovative and combine some characteristics that make them difficult to resist and stack the odds for them succeeding. Let’s take things from the beginning: Peel ads employ one of the oldest tricks in the advertising book, human curiosity.
With the web’s added interactivity peeking people’s interest and getting them to actually click on an advert has relied on net adverts projecting either a very strident, insistent message or utilizing the kind of obtrusive advertising that gives net visitors little choice but to click on an ad just to get away from it.
Neither of these approaches has worked very well which is where Peel ad’s uniqueness has become one of its main strengths and the key to its success. By utilizing innovative, Web 2.0 technology to create a powerful, yet light weight script is added to your site and creates a slightly peeled page effect in a corner of your website, we call it: page peel ads. Behind it, you place the peel away script and link of your ad. Customers coming to your online page see the peeled page effect and acting on natural curiosity, see it in action: PeelAdz – Ads Peel Away
