John McKown: President of Delaware.Net, Inc.
2007 is our best year ever for R&D
In late 2006 and into 2007, I hired a bunch of new talent for Delaware.Net, and we also improved our internal web development process greatly. This was due to customer demand for more responsiveness from us, and I am happy to say that we achieved this goal. The new team and our business plan is literally transforming our company and taking us to a whole new level.
We’ve made a ton of progress with our Store-Logic Ecommerce platform this month, in preparation for our launch of our next version of our commerce and CRM platform.
Choosing your domain name for your business is a very important decision, and it is the first step towards your online precense. Once you start to advertise your domain name, your customers will bookmark it. You can and should use the same domain name for both your web site AND your work email. Domain-based email addresses are one of the reasons why most people first register their domain names. Even before you are ready to build a web site, you can begin to use your domain name for email right away. This makes you look way more professional than using the free email address that is given to you by your Internet access provider. Also, if you change ISPs, your will still be able to use your own domain-based email addresses, no matter who your ISP is.
Google is releasing a new shopping feature called Google Checkout. I have attached a link to the demo video below. What is interesting about this feature is that they are tying it into adwords (the search words that advertisers purchase ads under). Adwords advertisers that have the Google Checkout API and merchant agreement can then get a small shopping cart icon next to their advertisement. This will show customers that the advertiser supports Google Checkout. Google Checkout also appears to be a workaround for Google to get around the patent that Amazon has on one-click ordering.
