The Chompr - The perfect unitasker for Memorial Day BBQs....

As Im trying to take it easy this Memorial Day weekend, I thought I’d share snippets of some of my favorite blog articles from the past week…

The always-informative Andrea Kalli posts about those pesky  Twitter background upload issues… and I thought it was just me! Andrea compares the two most common fixes.

Formspring’s blog featured a weeklong series of posts, “Online Forms That Convert” – all packed with great tips for assembling effective, user-friendly forms for your website. My fav discussed how to design forms for PPC (pay-per-click) and landing pages, optimized to convert.

P.S.: If you haven’t checked out Formspring… do yourself a favor and visit now – its a fantastic web form service.. none better, in my view.

Unclutterer’s Unitasker Wednesday – this one’s always a chuckle, featuring a real item for sale – a unitasker - an item with a sole and usually ridiculous purpose.  Past Unitasker Wednesday honorees include The Chompr , a contraption intended to tidy up hamburger eating, the iSleep USB pillow – (eh – a pillow that connects to your computer with a USB cable)  and an electric paper plane launcher.  This week:  Poop Freeze Aerosol Freeze Spray.  Didn’t know you needed that, I bet.
