Mobile Map Your Friends

Google has recently released a free application for mobile phone users that will allow you to broadcast your destination and invite your friends to see where you are.  After locating them on your phone’s “Google Map” you can then 'click' them and SMS, IM, email or place a phone call – or just show up at their destination. Latitude uses technology to judge a user's location by GPS satellite and also by proximity to mobile phone towers and wireless networks.

I'm a big fan of Quicksilver, an application launcher for the mac (that's really an understatement, because you can do a so much more than just launch applications, but I digress).  So when I came across this Firefox plugin called Ubiquity the other day, I became immediately excited.  Ubiquity is like Quicksilver for the web.  It allows users to tell the browser, through language, what they want to do.  What does this mean exactly?  Check out the video below:

5 Essential Drupal Modules for SEO

Here at Avatar New York, we frequently use the open source Content Management System (CMS), Drupal, to build most of our content heavy websites.  In my opinion it's one of the best CMS's out there.  With that being said, it still has a few quirks.  One of my complaints is that it doesn't have a whole lot of SEO features built into the core (although it does provide for search engine friendly URL's via mod_rewrite).

What they're saying

“In 2007 the media highlighted the danger of toxins in children’s popular toys, and with our new site created by web design firm, Avatar New York, we were able to immediately address the issues of environmentally-friendly, educational, non-toxic, safe toys. Having our online store has provided a much needed niche for concerned parents. Our customer response is overwhelming and we are getting so much praise about the exceptional quality of the toys and the site.”

Sarah Gore, President and CEO Apricot & Ivy
