According to Edward Tufte, professor, artist, and information designer, sparklines are intense, simple, word-sized graphics. Because Mr. Tufte invented sparklines, I won't argue the definition. I will, however, make an argument for more people, myself included, to implement these tiny information graphics.
Incorporating inline graphics in content allows readers to seamlessly gather information. Many financial sites link a company's name to…

Can we be serious here for a minute?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and tell you that design is more important than the code behind the design. I don't actually believe that, but I have to because I know that the average website visitor isn't visiting your site to see how it was made, but why it was made. Let's face it, your visitors are there because they want something from you.
The internet is an archive to a world of social satire. It's true,…

I saw our first 'non-iMarcian' comment yesterday, and it was asking about RSS. Not only have I never really built anything RSS related, I've never even looked into using it. Sounding like a fun challenge, at 6:30pm on Sunday I made my first Google search and within an hour and a half, I had an RSS feed for our blog ready to go.
Since things were so simple, I thought I'd share how I went about building things to maybe help those that are…

I really want a webmail that works for me. I have spent alot of time looking, but I still can't find it. Email is supposed to make my life easier, not harder. I don't want my email downloaded to a computer at home so I can't access it at work or vice versa. I want to be able to check all five of my email accounts in once place with one click. I want the basic functionality of Thunderbird in a webmail. Why is this so hard to find?
I have tried Gmail, Yahoo,…

I suppose this was only a matter of time. Of course, being the guy that kept pushing for it, I think this is a huge step forward for the company, although for now it may seem like just another blog. That being said, there's been a bit of discussion as to what should actually be posted over here.
Should this place be where we discuss what we're working on internally? How about new technologies that we come across? Maybe we should write about…

According to princeton.edu, Ajax is "a mythical Greek hero; a warrior who fought against Troy in the Iliad". While certainly an interesting story, most of you are probably more interested in the mythic (web) hero AJAX.
Lots of web developers, and even just regular internet users, have been hearing this term being thrown around. You probably even know that it stands for Asynchronous Javascript And XML. It is a way for specific content on a web…

Communiqué is iMarc's blog.
Our team of designers, programmers, and business strategists all have opinions about the web, application development, usability, and business process. Communiqué is where we vent, write, and hopefully supply the world with useful content.
If it's a blog, why not just call it Blog?
Because we think Communiqué sounds cooler
But wouldn't Blog be a more usable name?
Probably. And we…
