in

About this product:

Tick-Tock

in

About this product:

While most businesses have soundly rejected Vista and are tenaciously hanging on to Windows XP until Microsoft comes up with a better operating system (OS), the day of reckoning approaches. The reason: Microsoft drove another bloody stake into XP on April 14, 2009, when it officially ended “mainstream support” for the OS. This means that your warranty on XP is void.

in

About this product:

Companies vexed by the relentless need to continually design their websites for multiple browsers have a new challenge: the 2009 release of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8).

New Directions in Web Analytics

in

About this product:

While web software has been around nearly as long as the web itself, the latest crop of upgrades make it easier than ever to precisely study what’s working best on your site and ensure that those best practices are replicated on every page. Indeed, as too many businesses learned the hard way in the early days of the web, a site that often seems easy to navigate in the eyes of company creators can actually represent a major challenge to visitors. Too often, this results in visitors clicking away in frustration—and often logging on to a competitor’s site.
