ThinkWeb3 and SocialAdMX Sponsors New Advisory Service about Internet Opportunities

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) May 31, 2011

Investors in ThinkWeb3, http://www.thinkweb3.com, and SocialAdMX, http://www.socialadmx.com, are sponsoring a new, sharply focused investment commentary service. HighGainBlog.com focuses providing commentary and information that can minimize the risk in an uncertain business climate. The news service does not make recommendations.

The reader will be interested in new opportunities, particularly those with moderated risk and high value, said Stephen E. Arnold, publisher and owner of ArnoldIT.com, an independent consulting and engineering firm. Too much of the investment information is fuzzy. We want to be clear and direct in stories that are crisp and brief.

The online publication is available without charge and publishes Monday through Friday. HighGainBlog.com is produced by ArnoldIT.com, publishers of Beyond Search (a news service focused on next generation search and content processing) and Inteltrax (a news service tracking the big data and analytics markets).

ArnoldIT.com has tapped Michael Onghai, CFA (http://www.linkedin.com/in/valueinvestor) as an editorial advisor. Onghai has compiled an impressive track record, including founding and Building Stock Sheet (acquired by regent group) and 123Jump. In addition, he was the second software developer hired at Geocities and has worked at a number of investment funds. Onghais informal observations add deep insight into such recent news stories covered in the Web log as:

Flash and Glitter Can Obscure Facts Associated with Selling Social Media, http://goo.gl/ytVFp
Aggressive Innovation in an Increasingly Mobile World, http://goo.gl/UhBkJ
Assessing Business Credibility, http://goo.gl/lEn2u

The current stories and the archive of stories are available without charge at http://www.highgainblog.com. An RSS feed is available. Notifications of new stories are available via Twitter.

Topics covered in the HighGainBlog information service include:

Business strategies of startups
International opportunities with a focus on the Pacific Rim
Mobile startups
Social media

Onghai, one of the worlds most prescient financial analysts, said: The HighGainBlog news service fills a gap, particularly with regard to social and mobile media. Most of the services mention a startup, comment on the features of the software, and then provide a URL. HighGainBlog attracted my attention and that of the exciting ThinkWeb3 and SocialAdMX because the content is sharp, short, to the point, and includes a critical observation. I dont have time to read thirty pages of marketing collateral or consume every story in the financial press. HighGainBlog provides the short content hit I need and want.

The Web information service will include articles, features, and links to important business information resources. In addition, the HighGainBlog.com editorial team, http://arnoldit.com/wordpress/writers/, will offer critical comments about companies and strategies. The stories will not offer investment advice. The information service will focus on ameliorating risk through sound analysis and critical thinking. As good as the flood of business information is, the editors of HighGainBlog.com want to flag concerns and business methods that help individuals and organizations navigate todays rough financial rapids. Comments are permitted for every HighGainBlog.com story. An About section sets forth the editorial policy for the Web log. Story ideas may be submitted to tessarnold(at)rocketmail(dot)com.

About High Gain Blog

HighGainBlog.com is produced by ArnoldIT.com. The company focuses on curation of business information related to investment opportunities. However, instead of providing investment advice, the news service takes a critical stance, providing value added commentary about risks, opportunities in emerging markets such as China, Thailand, and Vietnam, among others, and pragmatic analytics. Published Monday through Friday, HighGainBlog.com fills a need for clear, concise, clear commentary on the present uncertain business climate. The news service is available via a feed or from http://www.highgainblog.com.

Bop Design Sponsors WordCamp Orange County 2012

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 14, 2012

On June 2, approximately 200 WordPress developers, designers and bloggers gathered at Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, CA for WordCamp Orange County 2012. WordCamps are casual, locally organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress, the open source personal publishing software that powers over 25 million sites on the web. The WordPress content management system allows small businesses to manage their own websites without web development experience. This event was the third WordCamp conference held for the Orange County community. Bop Design, a San Diego web design agency, was one of the sponsors for this years WordCamp OC. Bop Design uses WordPress for most of its small business websites. There is tremendous demand among the small business community for the WordPress content management system since it allows businesses to easily update their firms website with new blog entries, content, photos, news, etc. It allows a website to truly be a living, breathing resource center, comments Bop Design Business Principal, Jeremy Durant.

The first day of the event had 16 scheduled sessions where volunteers spoke about various WordPress topics. Some sessions were more technically oriented and aimed at more experienced web developers, while others were great for those just getting started in WordPress development. Topics ranged from introductory WordPress topics to contributing to the core WordPress development team to Internet/WordPress security to custom theme development.

“There was a multitude of WordPress topics being discussed,” says Jordan Paraso, Web Developer at Bop Design. “The session titled Enterprise Class WordPress by Jake Goldman, the president and chief engineer at 10up, really got my attention. He started the session by asking everyone if they had ever utilized WordPress to create a $ 50,000 enterprise website. He then asked if anyone had designed a $ 100,000 WordPress website. Most people think that WordPress is only for small websites but many Fortune 500 companies are now using WordPress for their websites. The session really opened my eyes to what WordPress is capable of.

Getting the Most Out of Your Google Analytics by Kelley Koehler was a great talk, comments Emily VonSydow, Bop Design’s Project Manager. Kelley went over the basics of Analytics for those who werent familiar and showed how to interpret the data. She went through a couple of case studies and identified actionable data. It was really valuable to see how others leverage Google Analytics and make marketing decisions based on the data. Google Analytics helps small businesses determine what is working and what is not on a firms website

Some of the sessions also had valuable information for not only web developers but also for other professionals in related fields. IT consultants enjoyed the session titled Optimizing WordPress for Speed and Scale by Ben Metcalfe of WP Engine. He discussed ways to improve a WordPress website on the server side. Tony Perez of Sucuri Security reviewed important trends and challenges that Internet Security experts must face on a daily basis with his session titled End-User Awareness. Even sales and marketing professionals would have benefitted from the conference. Learning more about the WordPress community and the types of websites that can be created with WordPress are important in targeting users and finding new clients.

The second day of the conference was Sunday Developer Day, a smaller gathering of the same attendees. There were no scheduled sessions or speakers for the shorter day. It was more of a WordPress meet up group, Jordan notes. Newer WordPress users were able to get help from experienced developers, while everyone was able to further develop relationships that were established the day before.

This was Bop Design’s first WordCamp sponsorship. “Since it was my first WordCamp, I wasn’t sure what to expect, Jordan says. What makes WordCamp really spectacular is the communal environment. Everyone from the experts to the beginners, were extremely friendly and helpful. I’m definitely looking forward to getting more involved in the WordPress community.”
