Centiare — the online directory
Sunday the 11 of February, 2007
If any of you have ever tried editing a
Wikipedia article and found your efforts
thwarted by someone who deleted all your hard
work, you should be grateful for
Centiare.com — the wiki that allows you to
post articles written in the
advocate point of view (APOV), and that
allows you to own your own directory listing. I
am in the process of building the pages for BIG
Images — you can check
it out here.
Centiare.com offers some incredible SEO tools that really help to develop rich directory pages that cross-link services, interests, and related content very easily. Not only that, but the people who operate Centriare are very helpful, offering tips and tricks to help optimally format the pages. They are so good that I got a personal phone call from one of them when they did not respond to an email immediately, letting me know that they were not ignoring me and would get to it as soon as they had a chance. That is customer service that you do not often get, and Centiare is free.
If you are trying to increase your business’s online exposure I highly recommend you check it out.

Digital Content: to pirate or buy or…?
Friday the 06 of October, 2006
Until very recently there were two ways a company
like BIG Images could get the software it needed.
It could pirate the software. It could buy the
software.
Pirating digital media like software is getting easier and easier with every passing day—the world of the torrent & gnuttela networks has seen to that.
Buying digital media like software is getting harder and harder—all the different serial numbers, registration systems, and rights-management systems have seen to that.
BIG Images buys all the software it uses. Managing the serial numbers & registration systems is becoming more and more of a logistical burden. On my laptop alone I have about 30 applications that require serial-numbers, many of which are part of site licenses, so I must manage the serial numbers per application, per machine.
There must be something better…
And there is! My third option for obtaining digital content: Open Source.
Why is this a big deal for a small business like BIG Images? Besides the obvious like complete customizability, scaleability, and rapid development and advancement (often faster than their commercial counterparts), there are NO serial numbers and rights-management systems—a complete lack of piracy control! Distribution & maintenance on a business-wide system is easier, faster, and less expensive.
