Beware of the Fake Trojan Detected Email

by

Minutes ago I received a fishy email from a so called Trojan detection robot. What is odd is I have never implemented let alone subscribed to such a service. Therefore I prompted to do some investigation on this spoof trojan detected email.

The email sounded rather authentic and unknowing email users may easily fall prey to this. Worst part of all is this email requests you to download an executable file. A file like this will automatically install in your computer without prior notice if activated. The email content sounded really convincing but I discovered something amiss.

by

Blogging for about 3 years does teach you a thing or two to generate traffic to your blog. And you don’t have to wear a tutu to accomplish it. Lame pun but wanted to add some fun. Don’t blame me why I’m rhyming all of a sudden because it’s just words that are flowing out at the moment.

Anyway, ever since I started blogging I’ve noticed what could be the no.1 mistake bloggers make when they want to generate traffic to their blog. This might catch you as a surprise but I believe the no.1 mistake bloggers make is they start ignoring the existing blog aggregators.

Prepare your Web Copywriting before Web Design

by

Alright, so now you know the website goals you would like to achieve with your website – time to move on. But what should be the next step? Do you tell the web designer to get started on the drawing board or do you tell the web developer to quickly start so you can have the website up by tomorrow?

Well, you don’t do either of the above. I believe the next step should be to prepare the website copy if you haven’t gotten it ready. Without knowing what content will be used on the website, it is actually difficult for the web designer to start conjuring a website layout which is right for you. Not to mention you will risk the website flow later.

New Microsoft Website Launch was Discreet

by

As I was humbly surfing during the weekend, my partner mentioned that we will be purchasing Office 2007 for our business. Therefore I thought I should pay a visit to the Microsoft website and find out what the software might cost the business later.

After spotting the price – noticing as well it’s cheaper in Malaysia, I thought why not have a look at the Microsoft main landing page. To my surprise, I stumbled upon a new look to the website. I don’t know about you but I never knew they launched a new homepage. Rather discreetly too. And pssstt..the Microsoft rebranded image is continued inside.

How to Measure Customer Appreciation and Value?

by

Before I started the company Simpleet Solutions with my partner, I was but only a freelance web designer. As a freelancer, the goal of your career was to get more jobs, make more money and spend it as you wish. Oh, I almost forgot to add – make a name for yourself.

While in freelance the initial idea was that, many do not take into consideration the customer appreciation and value of their work. In layman terms, did you care if the customer was happy with your work or do you think the customer would recommend you to someone they know?

by

Few days ago I was over at a Joy’s (not real name) place to discuss a web design project her friend; Joyce (not real too) wanted to talk me about. Joyce came down all the way from the United States not just to discuss the project but to holiday here in Malaysia with Joy who’s local.
