Digital Beckley has made a number of accomplishments in 2009. Releasing around 13 custom designed web sites, our production schedule has been phenomenal!

We are a small company, no doubt there - but like our services and products, we can play with the big boys. What makes us atrractive to the new customer is our ability to provide ENTERPRISE level services. Each and every web site is custom coded by hand, including our powerful (and flexible) content management system (CMS).

Here some site objectives we have seen no where else locally:

• One web site that can be configured to operate no less than 8 domains simutaneously and have the ability to scale with new companies and domains. (check out www.raleighmine.com) - The ENTIRE web site is managed in-house by the client.
  
  
• Targeted vertical markets using 3rd tier domain names with a sinlge web site. (check out www.hortcoutureplants.com). The client manages all 4 mini-sites as one web site. The specialized CMS we designed allows the client to target specific markets.
  
  
• Highly specialized custom 'ad hoc' searches. (check out Heriatge's Truck Inventory search feature). Happily, it also includes a definable keyword search, you can select what parts you want to search in.
  
  
• Established a baseline of what consitutes a 'standard web site' for commercial use. (check out www.houchinsblock.com). Provides powerful SEO/SEM features. Can handle up to 25,000 pages of content.
  
  
• Weather DIRECTLY from the government's NOAA mainframes. (check out - opps wait THAT site hasn't been released as of this posting shhhh). Fully private branded to boot.
  
  
• Provided online demos on how to perform tasks with our technology and services. Easy to follow step-by-step insructions in a playable flash format. (check out www.digitalbeckley.com/demos.asp )
  

With every site release we raise the bar on what a web site can do for a company. Of course, this goes without saying that the excellent developers and artists behind the scenes at Digital Beckley are truely the ones who make it happen.

Now thats what I call news.

Finally some vindication that social networking outlets really are a waste of time (and money). A recent study by Pear Analytics has shown that 40.55% of all posts on Twitter is actually just pointless babble that really accomplsihes nothing. The whitepaper (found here) has other interesting tidbits concerning the content (and context) of twitter posts.

 In my humble opinion - the majority of tweets are complete waste of time and resources. Lets face it - unless a company is generating something newsworthy or setting the bar for anything - is there that MUCH worthy of twitting? Most small to mid size companies specialize in a central product or service, really just how much 'relative' information can be posted FREQUENTLY?

If you use Twitter for commercial purposes (aka non-personal/social) what percentage of posted data would be considered "babble"?
