Launching a successful business is one thing, but having a decent logo created is equally important for several reasons. First of all, it represents your company brand. Brand is a way of getting your company name out there in front of people who are looking for what you are selling. A good logo also promotes brand recognition. Brand recognition is when people see your logo and automatically think of your business name.
When you choose to create business cards, it is important to keep some basics in mind. First of all, you will be handing out your business cards to people. You need to keep your business card simple, yet convey the information that people need about your company.
The advent of 3D is upon us, and it’s not just movies where we don weird glass. This 3D is true three dimension and it appears one layer at a time from a printer connected via WiFi to our device of choice/ Yes, folks we are one step away from printing up food or replicating a pizza that is fabricated right before our very eyes.
It used to be that a business could rely on their placement in Google to drive customers to their website. Content marketing has always been an important part of search engine ranking and many website owners are in direct competition with one another for page rank through the use of specific keywords.
Starting a business is difficult for many different reasons. Financing is the lifeblood of your business, but you are not going to get money for your business without a solid plan. If you are planning to get financing from a local bank or credit union, then you are going to need to plan out your approach ahead of time.
Good news for the folks at Spindle came today, as the provider of hyperlocal offers from businesses was acquired by Twitter. Described by the company as, “a tool for tuning into your surroundings,” the service pulls updates from Twitter and Facebook and categorizes offers around themes such as restaurants and shopping. Spindle also includes a social element, with the ability to share check-ins through Facebook and Twitter. The service is currently limited to 11 cities, which includes New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago, but according to the company, “By joining forces with Twitter, we can do so much more to help you find interesting, timely, and useful information about what’s happening around you.” As sad news to current users of Spindle, however, the service will shut down effective today, as the team prepares for its transition to the Twitter team in San Francisco. At any rate, it looks like the folks at Lucky Sort won’t be the rookies of Twitter HQ anymore. For a peek at what Spindle entails, just hop the break.

Starting up your own business can be one of the most exciting things that you will ever do. It is important to market your business or you may find that your success is limited and so are your sales. With no sales, your business will never take off, and this is true for about 90% of new business start-ups. It is important to carefully consider how you will market your business, even from the point of conception.

Renting is a pain. Sure, it saves you from financial doom when the housing market collapses, and it certainly is a lot more affordable when you’re feeling a bit resource-constrained, but it can cause some massive headaches. Depending on your market, scoring a place may require applying to dozens of potential landlords, spreading your precious, personal information with wild abandon to folks you’ve never met. It’s no pleasure cruise for those landlords, too, who have to chase down references and decide which of a pool of total strangers is most suitable to move in. And, when a rent check gets lost in the mail, nobody’s happy.
These are just some of the issues that Cozy is looking to solve. The service, which formally launches today and is backed by Google Ventures among many others, is looking to reboot the way that renters and landlords interact. More info after the break.

It’s no surprise, really. Offline devices just don’t carry the allure that they once did, and in fact, yours truly would argue that they simply lack the requisite functionality to become runaway hits in the modern era. It’s genuinely difficult to think of a flagship consumer electronics product, with a display of any kind, being engineered in the year 2013 without at least some level of internet connectivity in mind. Even a Kickstarter dream dubbed Pebble would be borderline useless without an online link, and as consumer demands shift dramatically towards expecting more for less, it’s the carriers who have found themselves positioned to take advantage.
Verizon has joined a host of other megacorps in launching so-called innovation centers across the world. Earlier this year, Samsung committed $1.1 billion to create a pair of Open Innovation Centers — temporary homes for upstarts looking to woo Sammy’s check writers into believing in their technology. In 2011, AT&T’s Palo Alto, Calif.-based Foundry innovation center joined similar entities already running in Texas and Israel. In a nutshell, these facilities exist solely to ensure that pretty much everything with a circuit board also ships with an AT&T radio. Microsoft, Intel and Vodafone have all done likewise in the past three years.
I recently had the opportunity to visit Verizon’s first Innovation Center — a sprawling facility located squarely in Massachusetts’ famed Route 128 technology corridor. The center opened in Waltham in the middle of 2011, and now enables roughly 25 employees to “largely operate outside” of what you probably associate with the word “Verizon.” What I found was the world’s greatest case against the existence of a “dumb pipe” — a phrase often used to describe carriers that do little more than provide access to a network. No structured technical support, no humans on the other side, no bloatware on the devices they sell. Companies who show up looking for aid in the art of interconnectedness face no fees, no risk of surrendering intellectual property and no requirements of exclusivity. This is the future of the wireless carrier: an increasingly vital component in making tomorrow’s whiz-bang gadget one that this generation will actually crave.
