We’re excited to present the website for the documentary A Lot Like You. We worked diligently to code this site to fit in with a Joomla Content Management System framework and to present the filmmakers with an easily updateable and good looking website.

As part of our New Media Consulting service, we scour the web for amazing tools that help businesses cut costs and succeed in reaching their digital communication goals. Because we run across so many good tools, I’ve decided to share some of my favorites on this blog. I hope you find them useful.

This weeks’ Favorite Web Tool is: Browser Shots

According to their site:
“Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers. It is a free open-source online service created by Johann C. Rocholl. When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser. Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here.”

What do I think?
Your web users come to your site from many sources. Are they using Safari? Firefox? Internet Explorer? Another web browser or mobile device? It is extremely important to make sure your site appears correctly in each instance. You do not want to lose visitors because your website was not optimized for a specific browser.

Usually, web designers will test a site on a number of browsers. Sometimes this is not the case. Browser Shots provides you with the tool to test the site yourself. Instead of installing a number of different web browsers and versions, you can use this one site to make sure your web presence is doing what you need it to do.

CHICAGO — Armed with millions of e-mail addresses and a political operation that harnessed the Internet like no campaign before it, Barack Obama will enter the White House with the opportunity to create the first truly “wired” presidency.

Obama aides and allies are preparing a major expansion of the White House communications operation, enabling them to reach out directly to the supporters they have collected over 21 months without having to go through the mainstream media.

We were excited to join the festivities until 1:30 in the morning that spilled out into the streets, making one large block party celebration for President-elect Barack Obama.

In addition, here is a YouTube video from the same celebration. A local club played “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey off of their roof. The crowd sings along:
