4 kick-ass website redesigns | iMediaConnection.com
In some sense, every website is a work in progress. Nothing is set in stone, and frequent changes are a necessary part of doing business online. Sometimes those changes amount to more than rolling out a new product or feature. But whether it's about improving upon an existing idea or going in a different direction, a website redesign can be a daunting task for any brand. After all, a website is the first place consumers go to learn about your brand, and in a very real sense, your brand is only as good as its last redesign.Dump Your Web Site and Move it to Facebook | iMedia Connection Blog
Brands need to start shifting their online content and interactions away from a brand’s .com site and to Facebook apps and Fan Pages to harness this additional traffic. For all of you on Facebook, how many times have you seen News Feed items about your Facebook friends downloading Facebook for Blackberry or iPhone. Plenty. That little message was instrumental in driving thousands of additional downloads without a single ad dollar spent.Slow Money: Investment Strategies Appropriate to the Realities of the 21st Century
Think about it: a hundred thousand Americans providing millions of dollars a year for investment in local food systems. Is it typical philanthropy? No. Is it investing as we've come to know it? No. Is it achievable? Yes.The 100 Best Green Companies - Oregon Business Magazine
The 100 Best Green Companies rankings were calculated by Oregon Business research editor Brandon Sawyer and research partner Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall based on confidential employee surveys and a report completed by each company. The green questions were asked during the 100 Best Companies survey last fall. It isn’t easy being green, but this year’s inaugural class of the 100 Best Green Companies to Work For in Oregon shows that if you’re committed to sustainable practices, it pays off not only for the environment and the bottom line, but also in being a great place to live.OpenWiser » Blog Archive » We Did It! OpenWiser Raised Over $10,000
This little experiment in crowd-sourced fundraising worked! At 9:25AM US Pacific time, we beat our goal of raising $10,000 to help WiserEarth complete development of their API. All told, since April 22, just over five weeks ago, 102 donors contributed $10,319 to make this project a reality. This is a powerful, heartening example of the community coming together to benefit the whole of humanity.Green job opportunities appear to be growing | DailyTidings.com

As an interactive agency, we come from a world where most companies like us are used to a sales process that involves lots of planning meetings, big proposals that go back and forth, free consulting to create estimates, and vague pricing based on a mysterious number of hours that it may take to complete a project. From what I’ve seen, this process typically leads to projects that go over budget and time, disagreements over money, and end up with both parties unhappy.Startup Tools | Investor Search

Waking Giant News
Thank God for Evolution by Michael Dowd | Plume Paperback
What follows is the new preface...
As we observe the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of his landmark book, On the Origin of Species, evolution has become firmly established as the central organizing principle of the biological sciences. Natural explanations for the growth of complexity through time ground all the other sciences, as well, from cosmology and chemistry to neuroscience and psychology. That everything within this universe has emerged through natural processes operating over vast spans of time is now well beyond dispute among scientists and the educated public. Yet even today, families and public school systems remain divided and the evolutionary worldview is still shunned by millions, perhaps billions, of religious believers around the world. Why?

Produce picked and eaten at the height of ripeness has exceptional flavor and, when handled properly, is packed with nutrients. Also, local farm products are chosen for the best flavor, not for their ability to withstand industrial harvesting equipment and extended travel.Rogue Flavor
