Way back in August (we think), Google published for pretty much the very first time, an opportunity for website owners to view their search results on the next major update on Google via a Beta site, or sandbox. The new update is known as 'Caffeine'. We've waited until now to write an article around this as we expected the results to sway a little as the Google techies continued their development tweaks.

The beta site works, and looks just like a normal Google page, and you get to see how the results on certain key phrases may appear after the new launch.  It's alleged that Google allowed access to their Beta to try and engage web developers and site owners for feedback. What do you think...are your results better or worse?

After performing our own in-house research, we found that we were repeating answers to support queries around 70% of the time. We've therefore created a simple to use FAQs page for all of our clients. These Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) will be updated regulary and which will allow all our hosted and SEO clients to see answers to the most commonly asked support queries anytime day or night. You can access our FAQ's page here.

...because help is at hand! Those clever guys at 'Dummies guide' have created a fool proof help section on Twitter which we at Hogtronix think actually offers some real help to those getting stressed out over etiquette, inserting links etc etc

Lots of Web folk say they don't 'get' Twitter. To be fair, it's not immediately obvious if you aren't/haven't been a regular user of the web. The whole idea of course, is to build a network of 'followers' (read: 'friends') and to communicate with each other on a regular basis as to where you are and what you're doing through a series of 'tweets' (short messages of maximum 140 characters, so slightly less than a text). Twitter also has mobile phone capabilities as well allowing Twitter 'on the go'. Some would argue (Dell PC's) that Twitter certainly has commercial marketing power and capabilities as well, though some businesses have previously created a major 'fail' by mis-mananaging the Twitter dragon (Habitat UK).
