By the end of this year, 70% of large companies will be blogging. Here are my questions:
Is this a good thing?
What percentage do you think will do it the right way?
Is there an audience for this many corporate blogs?
Do people really care?
Do they need blog design work?
Will the blog carry over their corporate identity properly?
No, seriously, do they need blog design work? 
…wow, what is there to say. You would think that FIFA would want the North American market, but with all these awful calls, the fickle american sports fan will be laughing at instead of watching international soccer. Sorry Socceroos, they must not care about you either.

…launched a couple of months ago, with no fanfare from us. That’s what happens when the blog is down.
Gaga for Lulu is an upscale children’s boutique. Fresh Yields performed all aspects of the site build, from identity design to ecommerce backend. We will be embarking on a comprehensive Search Engine Marketing and Optimization plan in the coming months.

In this hectic world of sales and marketing to prospective clients, it feels good to produce something for an organization that is out there making a difference in the lives of children from all over the world. Mending Kids International is one of such organizations. Many remember the story of the Guatemalan conjoined twins who were separated at U.C.L.A. back in 2002 with the help of funding from Mel Gibson. I have had the chance to meet these wonderful little girls on a visit to California, and their smiling faces move everyone around them.

There are many more stories of children in need, and Mending Kids International is helping by bringing donated medical care to needy children worldwide. We are happy to announce that their new website has officially launched today.
…Soccer, er, Football team. The key today is to not take the lead early. If they jump out to a lead too early, then Croatia and Italy might as well just play for a tie so they both make it. No problem, just score in the 89th minute, even better in stoppage time. It seemed to work for the Heat.
…I will. The NBA is fixed. I can’t watch it anymore. It’s always been bad, but now it is dead to me. And what kind of country is this where the owner of a team can get fined $250k for speaking out against an entity that is not his employer? Almost like a country that levies income tax on it’s citizens with no law on the books. Oops, sorry, that’s another subject…
