I’ve always considered myself a fairly Web savvy individual – I stay up on the latest world happenings by logging on to the various news organizations from CNN to the Rapid City Journal. I’ve reconnected with several friends through Facebook. I’m “Linked In” with some current and past colleagues, and I’ve even started “Tweeting.”
But those Internet gods seem to always keep me on my toes. I’m pretty sure many of you have already delved into the world of Google Reader but the application is fairly new to me – hey, it’s a full-time job keeping up with Internet technology.

Imagine…as you drive along the main street of an unfamiliar city, your phone alerts you to a restaurant that your friend visited last week. It interfaces with your friends “facebook” page, where they had commented on the delicious culinary delights of the establishment to your left. “The Prime Rib was great” the screen reflects, as you drive on. An on-screen button allows you to make a reservation for two, tomorrow night at 8. The mobile device sends your name and contact details to the restaurant where a table is reserved for you.

As a business, you have many options for delivering your message to your target market. Be it a billboard, newspaper ad, television spot or some dude in a chicken suit standing on the corner handing out flyers – each has specific techniques for maximizing its effectiveness. When incorporating your website as part of that message delivery system, it’s important to remember the web is its own medium and must be treated as such. All media types are unique and beautiful snowflakes… or something to that effect.

I’ve been asked by several people in the last couple months, “what is the point of Twitter?” Having read Jillian Anderson’s recent post on social media, you might be asking yourself the same question. After all, Twitter doesn’t seem very useful at first glance. But like many social media services, how you use it is more important than what its “point” might be. Yet in order to explain why Twitter can be useful to you, we need to clear up a few things. …Read more »

I’m a self-help addict but let’s be clear, that doesn’t mean I’m troubled. It just means that I like making an informed decision. (that’s the ticket!) I’m a guy’s guy by most standards and by that I mean I like things I can hear and things I can see verses reading a something like Macbeth (unless its a book on tape). …Read more »

“I need a website. How much is it going to cost?”
Ah, the million dollar question (pun mildly intended). This question falls comfortably in the top three on the list of questions prospective clients ask – and for good reason. The company website is increasingly becoming a very necessary part of any business model. So, how to answer this question?
Let’s take a stroll down Analogy Lane. …Read more »

Congratulations may be in order – it seems you’ve caught us red handed. We were trying to keep a low profile while we set things up here, but alas, you were savvy enough to get here, so you win the prize.
The prize is nothing more or less than a little sneak preview of the new BBM Studios blog. Yes, the one you’re looking at right now. Somewhat anti-climatic, we know, but what were you expecting? We’re working as hard as we can; long days, longer nights, barely any sleep – hell, they rarely feed the monkeys here. (pssst, guys: if you have any poo, fling it now!)
Well anyway, enjoy your peep now while you still have us all to yourself. Just don’t taunt us. The cage isn’t that strong.
