The recent article In Praise of Spikes in FastCompany.com examines whether, in today’s global market, we can really work from anywhere in the world.
The conclusion: The idea that location no longer matters is “a compelling notion–but it’s wrong.”
The article claims that, even though we are highly mobile, we still benefit greatly from being in certain spots around the globe. To clarify, it’s not saying we all need to sit together in a room to innovate and be successful. This brief article caught my eye with its theory of “spikes” and “valleys”. It says there are highly concentrated areas of innovation and economic growth around the world and that people in these areas are connected to and benefit from other innovation pools around the world; people outside these areas can have a hard time tapping into the same resources.
“People in spiky places are often more connected to one another, even from half a world away, than they are to people in their own backyards. This peak-to-peak connectivity is accelerated by the highly mobile, global creative class, about 150 million people, who migrate freely among the world’s leading cities–places such as London, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.”

When CSS technology was introduced, it was a breakthrough technology in Web design because it allowed developers to control the style and layout of multiple Web pages all at once. However, in my experience, a lot of designers back then and even now primarily use CSS to style the fonts and HTML elements.
CSS is a very powerful tool that does a lot more and gives you a big bonus…faster web page load time! With your styles in an external .css file, the browser can cache all the formatting and stylizing for your pages instead of having to read every single HTML tag every time a page is being loaded.
Please make sure to test your CSS code in all browsers. You can also follow this CSS contents and browser compatibility chart.

OPEN from American Express launched “Inside the Entrepreneurial Mind” series, which offers marketing advice from successful entrepreneurs through a series of online videos.
Here’s is a list of some of the topics from the “The Business of Technology” forum
Your customers may be learning a lot about your business — and not just from you. From pricing comparisons to online reviews, Wired Magazine Senior Editor, Nick Thompson, describes the phenomenon of radical transparency — how it is changing the nature of information.
How does Wikipedia - an online encyclopedia based on user-generated information - maintain credibility? Jimmy Wales lends his insight on maintaining your brand’s credibility in the digital age.
In today’s wired world, you can connect to a workforce of thousands, who are available 24 hours a day, and might even work for free. It’s not outsourcing, it’s “crowdsourcing.” Wired Magazine Senior Editor, Nick Thompson, provides examples of this emerging trend.
Are your customers advocates for your brand? Sean Parker shares Facebook’s secrets to creating and spreading online communities.
Facebook co-founder Sean Parker talks about the importance of “creating an experience” in order to engage with your customers online.
Now that we finally have mobile devices and laptops, we’re constantly on a quest to locate good (and free) wi-fi spots. While more and more cafes and other private locations are offering wi-fi options, free service can still be tricky to find. An article published last September in USA Today told how some cities are rolling back plans for wi-fi: “Houston, San Francisco, Chicago and other cities are putting proposed Wi-Fi networks on hold.”
 So how do we know where to go as we stroll around cities on a quest for cybercafes? There are a bunch of hotspot directories, but I finally found one, WiFi411.com, that allows you to specify:
- Standard features that other directories have, like country, zip, and radius
- Consumer friendly features, like whether you want free or commercial wifi service
- Unique features, like whether you want to spend the afternoon in a coffee shop, convention center, or even a bowling alley
