A website was launched this week for punters who fancy a go at creating software for vintage Acorn 8-bit hardware. RetroSoftware.co.uk was set up to give a helping hand to anyone who wants to take a nostalgic trip back to the days of hacking together 6502 assembler code or wants to experience writing for 1980s microcomputer hardware for the first time. Beta testers, musicians, artists and illustrators and other contributors are also welcome to join in, we’re told.
It’s hoped the site will reach a point where it can begin publishing users’ software with proper disc releases and printed materials, just like the good old days when the Acorn Beeb ruled the classroom and fought against the ZX81 for a place in every British living room.
Creativematch is a highly optimised site enabling your content to be viewed by 238,174 unique users a month (*ABCe audited) and getting included search engines like Google. Which is all invaluable in getting your business in front of potential clients.
When writing your press release you can be as positive as you wish, but any claims made must be qualified with evidence. Press releases which simply ask for new business or state your expertise will be omitted - there has to be a news angle. Creativematch allows businesses of all sizes with ‘a level playing field’ when it comes to publishing content.
Developing a site offline and then publishing it to a live server is always the preferred choice. If you develop directly against a live site, any problems you encounter while developing your site (and there will be some) will be visible to everyone who visits your site.
You could, of course, put up one of those graphics that you see on many sites that say “Under Construction,” but the way I see it, if a site is under construction, it should be on a development computer, not on a live Web server. After all, an artist doesn’t paint a masterpiece while the canvas hangs on a museum wall. A professional Web developer will always develop a site offline and then publish it to the Internet or intranet.
A new way to check up on friends is taking the Internet by storm. Twitter.com makes it easy and free for people to group-message their social network about their whereabouts.
More than one million users worldwide have visited Twitter.com since its launch in 2006. On the Web site, users publish their current locations, actions and moods online, according to the New York Times.
Twitter users create and receive messages similar to Facebook status updates. Individuals can make Twitter profiles and add followers.
