Mobile Web Marketing - Ten Mistakes you should be aware off
These days, it’s common to hear people describe the mobile web as the biggest thing since the desktop web. They’re wrong. It’s much, much bigger than that. For starters, there are far more mobile devices than PCs (2.4 billion handsets were in circulation by mid-2006). In Europe alone, there are four times more handsets than PCs (in some countries, there are more handsets than people.)
Ten Mistakes in Mobile Web Marketing, a free eBook by dotMobi and mobiThinking.com, shows you ten of the most common examples of dotcom thinking, so you won’t repeat them.

What’s better? Ruby on Rails vs. PHP
A friend of mine has a project where he wants to make a social community and was unsure which way to go. He asked me to ask you guys of help. It is the question which is discussed everywhere - Ruby on Rails vs. PHP - but most of them are not very neutral. Many of them are too pro for Ruby on Rails or too pro for PHP.
Ruby on Rails is a relatively new and young programming language. By doing a research for advantages and disadvantages. PHP is easy to learn and many people have experience with it. In our mind are some more important questions.
What’s about:
- Performance?
- Security?
- Scalability?
This is an invitation for all of you to make your point of view clear, so that this question will be asked the last time!
It’s your turn: What’s the best- Ruby on Rails or PHP?

Inspiration: 8 Fonts you probably don’t use in css, but should
CSS has brought us many capabilities in terms of typography and the web, but we always seem to be limited to the same 4-5 typefaces over and over again. There is an inherant problem, if the font you specify isn’t on the viewers computer it won’t render in that font. So as designers and developers we end up selecting the ones that we can safely assume is available on most computers today. So most pages use Arial, Helvetica, or Georgia as their typefaces… and the world of the web remains slightly more bland.
