cre8 Gets Under CBOE.com’s New Skin

CBOE came to us with a new website redesign that was done for them in early 2009. The new templates needed to be integrated into their current website, merging CSS where necessary.

Managing Your Reputation Online

While doing some Search Engine Reputation Management (SERM) for a customer, I noticed today that even if you delete a blog post on MySpace, it will still appear in your activity stream. Seems the only way to get that removed is to quickly carry out at least 5 new actions to push it off the list.
