Live chat a bandwidth hog

Be warned, if you have live chat software on your website it may be using up a lot ( if not all ) of your allocated bandwidth. How is this possible you say? Well, in order for the live chat program to display new messages/conversations to you as an admin, it will need to poll the server at a rate defined in the software. With the way the web works, you have to call the server to get new information. The server can't simply send you information without you asking for it. The only way for your .... read more

The Effectiveness of Daily Deals

It is amazing how quickly a good idea can catch on on the internet. One recent example that comes to mind is the daily deal website. Sites like Woot, Groupon and Living Social are some of the forefathers of this movement. Each of these examples have a variation of the daily deal, but in essence they are all the same. An Item or service is posted daily and users have the opportunity to purchase the item at a deeply discounted price. How effective is this sales technique. Apparently it is working.... read more

Most Clicked Button

Most websites usually have a common thread when it comes to links or buttons on the site. For example typically a website has a logo that is linked to the homepage. This makes me wonder what the collectively most clicked button on the web would be. I have heard that the "skip intro" link on websites with flash intros is one of the most clicked links. This is completely understandable as flash intros drive most sane people nuts. But all sites don't have this link. There has to be a commonality b.... read more

I am sure you have noticed when you take a photo it just doesn't look totally right. This is because the intensity levels are decreased because of the limited range the camera can capture in on.... read more

Can Optical Media Survive?

Could the Blu-Ray disk be one of the shortest lived media formats of all time? How much longer will be be using CDs and DVDs? With the recent release of streaming media boxes like Apple TV, Boxee Box and Google TV I have been asking myself these questions. I have already noticed how little I use the optical drive on my laptop. There are a few cases where someone will bring in a DVD with photos or video, but those are few and far between. I would estimate that I insert a disc into my drive maybe.... read more
