William Strunk didn't go far enough

Tuesday, February 21, 2012 – In 1918, William Strunk wrote in The Elements of Style “a sentence should contain no unnecessary words.” A century later, it's still true: Cutting word count in half doubles comprehension Mobile content is 2x harder to read than desktop Desktop reading is 20–25% slower than paper Users read only the first 2 words of a paragraph as they scan down a page Strunk didn't go far enough. Don't just “omit needless words”.

Website Resolutions

Thursday, January 26, 2012 – Now that 2012 is well underway, I imagine some of your personal New Year’s resolutions to tame the bulge, fit in fitness, or spend less money have taken a substantial hit.

Changing Tradition (for the better)

Friday, December 23, 2011 – For the past 8-9 years at iMarc the employees get together in late December for their annual Secret Santa exchange. Each employee is randomly assigned another employee to buy a gift for through our web based Secret Santa generator (we seriously have this). Once assigned it's up to you to purchase something for less than $30 that you think would really resonate with that person's character. In the past I've received a Whip, a multi-tool and an…

Three of Our Clients are Leading the Charge!

Tuesday, December 20, 2011 – As a woman in business who works in an industry that is predominantly male, it’s always great to see other women being recognized for their success.

Being web geeks, we have some digital party favors for you… WEB MEN Soundboard — featuring the talents of every single iMarcian Wallpapers for your PC, Mac…

I LOLed

Wednesday, November 23, 2011 – My gang, they crack me up. Nick made the call to spring everyone early today, and so in theory we are closed right now and everyone is long gone. So I just went for a stroll and of course NOT ONE of them has departed. Liberal application of the verbal cattle prod got them moving, but that is indeed what it took. Happy Thanksgiving, iMarcians and friends. Hope it s a great holiday for you all.
