01/10/2011 - Success on Facebook Requires More Than Just Showing Up
It seems like everyone has a Facebook page these days. Just a few weeks ago, at Thanksgiving dinner, I listened in bemusement as grandmothers and grandchildren from my family collectively discussed their Facebook pages over plates of turkey and piles of potatoes. Yeah, Grandma is on Facebook. With so much attention centered on social networking, it’s not surprising that many Envision clients have started asking us how they can “use Facebook to benefit their business.” It’s also not surprising ...

01/09/2011 - My website is broken. Please fix it.
When you have a problem with your car and you need to get it repaired, you bring it to a mechanic and you explain what you think is wrong.

I named him after a Jules Verne character. Captain Nemo was the captain of the Nautilus, a futuristic (at the time) vehicle that was powered by the same forces as the sun and which could dive to the deepest depths of the ocean; 20,000 leagues under the sea. Capt. Nemo was a man that would not take no for an answer. ...

My wife recently began adding letters to the caps of the water bottles in our fridge (which we refill and reuse). I noticed this one evening as I reached to get a drink and saw that a number of bottles had a little ‘C’ scrawled onto the cap in black marker. Around this time, my wife and kids had been getting over a summer cold and I assumed that the ‘C’ stood for ‘cold’, meaning that these were bottles they had used when they were sick and which needed to be thrown away once they were feeling ...
