Congratulations To Mike's Bloggity Blog | Jun 12, 09:22 AM

We just wanted to send a congratulatory note to our good friend Mike Morrison of Mike’s Bloggity Blog for being named the Best Calgary Blog in Fast Forward’s Best of 2010 poll.

We kinda feel like that proud cousin (or high school friend) that watches their multi-talented friend make it big.

So a big virtual HIGH-FIVE goes out to Mike.

Congratulations.

Google Street View rolled out in Canada yesterday morning. While many people are finding it to be one of the Internet’s greatest time occupiers, it does have important ramifications for your business.

Google Street View is essentially a street level enhancement to Google’s powerful online mapping system – Google Maps. Users can now zoom in on any address in a major metropolitan Canadian city to see a panoramic view of the area. Below are some examples of Google Street View in action at some of Calgary’s most famous intersections.

The Armadillo Wordle | Jun 30, 01:53 PM

Sometime ago we stumbled upon a nice visual tool for web site owners and customers trying to refine their web site’s keywords. This tool is called Wordle.

In essence, Wordle is a quick and dirty online app that allows web site owners to submit a web site link or post to receive a basic graphical word cloud representation on the content for that web site. The larger the type, the more predominate that word is in the site (or post’s) content. As an example you can have a look at the wordle we created for the Armadillo Studios Blog.

You’ll notice that some of the strongest words associated with the Armadillo Blog are words like; Armadillo, Online, Collaboration, Calgary, Web Site, and Project.
