If you are unfamiliar with twitter, it is a new way of telling your followers details of your daily activities (similar to Facebook’s status updates). That’s pretty much it, but there is a large scope to utilise this as a business marketing tool.

We will be adding a tips page for companies who want to gain the most out of Twitter. We hope to post this shortly, in the mean time, jump onto twitter create a page and follow us at Impact!

Is Facebook 2.0 Actually Better?

Friday, October 3rd, 2008 | Industry News, Website Design | No Comments

Thousands of people have petitioned against the new Facebook website. I was even one of them, ‘why fix something that isn’t broken’ and with literally millions of users, launching a new interface has upset quite a few people. But is it actually better?

At first Facebook gave you an option to use the new interface or to stick with the old, being a web designer and with a slight curiosity I made the change, but my initial impression was it was difficult and completely different from the previous website which I was used to - so i reverted back, probably like many others.

This is when the petitions began.

After a short period Facebook notified all members stating that from a specific date, the new layout will be live, which started even more petitions. Then that tragic day came, I logged in and there it was this new and baffling interface which I was unfamiliar with, and I was immediately displeased.

But being thrown into the deep end, I have come to grips with its new features and seen that everything is there from what was there before, but in a more organised place. Which has made me think, is it actually better? and are other people coming to terms with the new Facebook and thinking to themselves “it’s really not that bad”?

What do you think?

Starbucks Set For Change

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 | Coffee Corner | No Comments

Starbucks have launched a social networking website to source fresh ideas for their business. What a great way to communicate with your target audience, by listening to their ideas and making some of them happen.

A birthday coffee i believe is a fantastic idea - If i was shopping in the high street on my birthday i would take a trip into Starbucks for my free coffee!

If your a Starbucks fan then perhaps you have a great idea that you want to share. Log onto their site.
