When our clients want blogs we are always very thorough at explaining how maintaining a blog is truthfully a very time consuming task. Sitting in front of a blank wysiwyg editor, at times, makes us bloggers wonder why we do it. Sometimes I convince myself we do it for the readers but other times, such [...]

All about Twitter

pabloiv — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:13:39 +0000

So I probably should have written this back when @aplusk (Ashton Kutcher) and @cnnbrk(CNN Breaking News) were having their much publicized race to 1 million followers back in April, but I really wanted the hype to die down before blogging about it and looking like I was just jumping on the bandwagon. Twitter’s been around for [...]

Critical Mass Effect and Edward Bernays

torlanco — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 02:44:45 +0000

One of the most amazing things in the face of this world, to me, was the life of Edward Bernays. Born the nephew of Sigmund Freud, he would use his uncle’s ideas along with crowd psychology to pioneer his way into the world of public relations. He would tackle problems with the consideration of the [...]

Risky Business

AlanT — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:27:46 +0000

If you’re expecting to read something about Tom Cruise, “tighty whities” or dancing with shades you’re just another victim of a marketing stunt to promote this blog. After internalizing and accepting your weakness for false advertising, it’s time for business. Today’s demographics are way more diverse and extended than the usual; gender, age and economic status.

YoSoyApple.com – The revolution was tweeted

torlanco — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:43:53 +0000

We have previously documented the death of websites in fixthepixel but when it happens close to home the wound feels much deeper. A couple of months ago we published a post on an up and coming news site for mac users, at the time we were very happy for the initiative. As time went by, the [...]

My month with Bing

pabloiv — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 21:38:04 +0000

Last May Ballmer announced a new rebranding for Microsoft’s search engine. What was once MSN Search and Windows Live, is now Bing. Probably named for the availability for purchase of the non-offensive, semi-sensical, 4 letter domain, Bing is a lot more than just a mere marketing move. Last month I took it upon myself to [...]

New ad-guy in town…

AlanT — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 19:16:36 +0000

Trying to come up with a good and professional way to introduce myself, I noticed that there’s a lot of ground to cover in my formation as an ad professional. My name is Alan Taveras, I’m about to start my last year of college at Sagrado Corazón, my major is advertising. This is my second [...]

pabloiv — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:32:00 +0000

We usually write about the state of the industry, and the stuff we know, but we’re also very proud of our clients. We like to think that we pick them as much as they pick us. We like working with clients that we would feel safe hiring in some future endeavor. EyeTour has been with [...]

Some of you may ask why we’re always posting pc stuff instead of mac, truthfully we recently started asking ourselves why. It is part of our lifestyle to be around technology but right now Apple only comprises 30% of our life I guess. There are people however, much more into experiencing life with its glossy, [...]

IE8: Sleeker, Faster, and not IE6

pabloiv — Thu, 21 May 2009 19:26:53 +0000

I’ve complained before about Internet Explorer 6 (IE6), how it is the bane of the web developer’s existence and the problems I have with it on an almost personal level. It’s many failings nudged me towards alternate browsers such as Firefox and Chrome. In the years since, Mozilla’s growth in the browser market has stirred [...]
