Over the last two weeks this has happened to me two different times.

The Good Idea

We recently landed a client in the residential development industry. Before we put together a proposal for her, my team spent a lot of time researching other companies like her's in the industry: finding out what other sites look like, what elements we need to incorporate it, and how would we create such designs without using Flash (Flash doesn't work with Apple products). After awarding Zenn Media the deal, the client sent us some phenomenal designs that she created and she asked us to incorporate into her new website. The designs looked fantastic and we were even more excited to work with such a youthful and cutting-edge company. It was only a couple of days after that I was looking through websites and saw that design again - on a competitor's website.

Completing your Facebook profile is one of the most important aspects of being plugged in to the online community letting people find you by past employment, school or even hobbies. Though we may find this some what annoying to complete, I have had some great relationships develop in both business and personally by making it easy for people to find me. I realize not everyone will take the hour or two to complete their Facebook profile but for those who do they will reap the rewards.
