rothscreenshotT hese guys deserve credit; this theme: Suffusion WordPress theme by Sayontan Sinha is the best, most user friendly, feature rich, customizable theme I have found: I have just changed mine to this one instead of the one I built from scratch, and I will be using this one for most WordPress setups.

In this somewhat quarterly rant, I will endeavor to enlighten you (and myself) about what is going on from the twenty thousand foot level on the Internet and in the world.

INTERESTING NEWS:

According to Google, we are the number one social media advertising agency in the world (Adweek.com is a well known magazine, not and agency.)

I have been talking about his for a while:

This is significant because we are not really a conventional agency, and there are larger competitors: the point is that conventional agencies do not understand the Internet:  Adweek.com, the only website higher than us on this prestigious search, did so with this article from 2008;
