Despair, Inc. Gives Honor to TweetStalk with T-Shirt
It’s always nice to learn that your jaded, sarcastic distraction creation has inspired an equally misanthropic company like Despair. Despair recently added what may be their best product yet, the Social Media Venn Diagram T-Shirt. As you can see in the picture, TweetStalk is highlighted as the merging of ADHD and Stalking. We’re so proud!

Five Ways to Spot a Dodgy SEO Firm
Dodgy:
1. Evasive; shifty.
2. Unsound, unstable, and unreliable.
3. So risky as to require very deft handling.
As the SEO Manager at Sitening, it’s important to me that our client needs are not only met, but their expectations are exceeded. If we have to stay until 10 or 11pm to get the job done, then that’s what we’ll [...]
