Evolution of the InterWeb

Posted by: Karl Quirino on: April 10, 2010

The fusion of the Internet, the Web and multimedia communication devices are together are simply nothing more than tools for people to navigate around cyberspace. But, getting to know and hear from people who use the technologies are what’s becoming more important these days.

The Zen of Creative Content Development

Posted by: Karl Quirino on: February 27, 2010

Development of relevant content for the Web isn’t about trying to force yourself on others. It’s all about the reader – the only reason why copy even exists. It’s their needs, their interests, desires and motivations that really good content works at to engage.

Basic Components of Digital Document Management Systems

Posted by: Karl Quirino on: December 27, 2009

The truth of the matter is estimates show that a typical worker takes about 12 minutes to process a single document in work environments where DMS are absent. Nine of these 12 minutes are spent just searching for, retrieving and refiling the document. This means that only three minutes are actually spent using the information found. Multiply that by the number of workers across you organisation and you get a clearer picture of how much time and money is wasted in unproductive activities as far as processing documents are involved.

Organisations don’t have to drastically change the way their people work to improve efficiency of work processes.

Making Links Work For You

Posted by: Karl Quirino on: December 22, 2009

When Digital Summit designs websites, combining both navigation and functionality with design depends largely on situational contexts. Keeping site visitors on your website is what’s mostly desired so use outbound links sparingly and only if it’s more resource-efficient to employ these.

Content Is Still King

Posted by: Karl Quirino on: December 22, 2009

Word-of-mouth is the key that opens the door to your website’s success. Don’t ever think for a moment that if you build it, they’ll come. Talking to others about something is far more effective than blind reliance on search engine optimisation (SEO) tactics and techniques. Toe to toe, word-of-mouth will far outperform top SEO techniques all because word-of-mouth’s DNA is as viral as a rumour doing its rounds.

The World Wild Web

Google will start recognising faster websites ahead of slower ones in search results along with content, keywords and links. Under this new order of ranking, slower sites may eventually find it harder to rank higher.

Designing Websites For Users
