So it seems like everyone these days has an account with Myspace, Facebook or Twitter.  There are also tons of other social networking sites, but these three are the most popular so I’ll stick to them. 

I saw a sign the other day at Hooters that said, “Follow us on Facebook and Twitter”.  I thought to myself, “who would follow this restaurant in the first place? Is it really that important that I am kept up to date with how good their chicken wings are?”. 

It’s kind of ridiculous the way these social networking sites are being utilized.  The sad thing is that a lot of people turn Myspace or Facebook in to their own personal little promotional page, and this is where narcissism screams the loudest.

(1) Why does my business need a web page?

83% of all consumers research a product or service online prior to making a “decision”.
79% of all consumers expect that a business will have a website.

If the statistics aren’t enough, ask yourself this… 
“Does your business need a sign out front?”  Your likely answer…”Of course. How else will people know we’re here”.  Well, “driving by” is quickly being replaced with “clicking by”.  And a website can offer far more compelling reasons to use your service (rather than your competitors) than your sign ever could.

If your thinking… “people don’t look for my product or service on the internet.”  that is not true!!!  People shop or research EVERYTHING on the internet,  including local services… and the businesses that take the best advantage of the web, as an advertising tool, will reap the best rewards!

In 1904, a construction camp for workers building a railroad from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City was established in the Las Vegas Valley. The city’s official history began on May 15, 1905 when 110 acres of land adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks were auctioned in what would become the downtown area. Las Vegas became incorporated as a city in 1911 with a population of 3,000.
A pivotal year for Las Vegas was 1931, when Nevada legalized casino gambling, liberalized the state divorce law by reducing residency requirements to six weeks, and construction started on the Boulder Canyon Project, now known as the Hoover Dam. Continue reading Las Vegas

The number of Internet users is steadily growing. Currently, 55% of all Germans go online on a regular basis compared to 28% in 2001 – and there is no end in sight to this upward trend. Today’s young people are growing up with the Internet and the Internet is growing up with them. It is evolving: the term for what is happening now in cyberspace is “Web 2.0″, an expression coined at a conference in 2004 by the web-business mogul Tim O’Reilly, to describe a new evolutionary phase of the Internet. The phrase is shorthand for the second Internet boom, which now follows the one that ended in late 2001 with the biggest destruction of investors’ capital in history.
