Coping with the Panda
Aug
03
There is one thing that you can guarantee with online marketing – things are always changing! Google constantly changes its algorithms in order to make results more effective, but every now and then it makes some MAJOR changes, as it did recently with the ‘Panda’ update. Google don’t say what they are going to do, [...]
Google + What’s it all about?
Jul
29
There has been some big (ish) news from the clever people at Google recently. Not content with dominating search around the world, taking over the smartphone OS market and constantly coming up with new and innovative ideas, they have decided to tackle the big one. They are going head to head with Facebook. Yes folks, [...]
Feel The Love
Jul

So Harold Camping got it wrong. The world didn’t come to an end on May 20th, and the Rapture didn’t happen. Or maybe we, like you, aren’t one of the chosen few. Clearly some mistake has been made, and we’re sure that the heavenly admin team will realise their error soon, but this got us [...]

Moving Up In The World
Jul

Slightly Different Go North To continue the global domination of Slightly Different, our erstwhile colleague Steve Hanson has donned his arctic woollens and as you read this is probably trudging his way through a blizzard in the snowy wastes of Northern England. A native of Huddersfield, which is the other side of the world from [...]

The Ten Commandments In this series of articles I’ll try to examine what a new developer needs to know in order to either learn web development or start their first job in the industry. So to start here is the ten commandments of web development; at least according to me (it would be nice if [...]
Sonic Branding
Jul
06
If you don’t know what I mean by the phrase sonic branding, think of most major brands and there’s a sound which you automatically associate with these brands. Listen to these three sounds for Xbox 360, Nokia, and Intel and you’ll realise that even without perhaps knowing it, you will probably recognise at least one [...]
EU Directive Re “Cookies”
Jul
06
And not the tasty chocolate chip type either! Legislation The official ICO guidance on cookies issued only on 9th May which came into effect on 25th May. This legislation had not passed into UK law at the time of writing (07/06/2011) due to the usual public sector delays; In essence then, the visitor to any [...]

A Slightly Different Adventure At Slightly Different we like to take some time to send our staff out into the world – to experience fresh air and sunshine, so they don’t forget what it looks like. Luckily for us we got the perfect opportunity a few weeks ago… Wild Futures, a monkey sanctuary not too [...]
