Thanks to Printville and LynxTo, USPS Bulk Mail Offer Even Better

Drew Hannush by Drew Hannush (4 Aug 2011)  |  Leave a comment

Apparently Printville was inspired by our article yesterday. It referred to the U.S. Postal Service’s offering of 3% off all First Class mail that has a QR code (or 2-D barcode)…and our comments that by specifically using a social network building LynxTo’s QR code you could get more out of that code and even get some money back from our affiliate program.

Printville to Match USPS Offer
PrintvilleIn honor of this, Printville is going to match the U.S. Postal Service’s 3% off, but only for LynxTo customers, and only through the end of August.

LynxTo To Sweeten The Pot For 2 Days
We loved the idea so much, we decided to sweeten the pot even more and for 2 days only will offer $30 off the purchase of your first LynxTo.  All you need to do is enter this code in during checkout “USPS3%” and it will lower the price on your LynxTo mobile webpage and QR code. But this is only good through the night of August 5th.

So get your LynxTo and then start planning your campaign an get to Printville this month. $30 off one of the most powerful QR code generators in the world and 6% off mailings thanks to Printville and the USPS is a pretty sweet deal.

Google WDYL Is More Like WWGD

Drew Hannush by Drew Hannush (28 Jun 2011)  |  Leave a comment

Its interesting to see all that Google has time to develop.  The latest entry is called “What Do You Love.”  Its basically a search engine that mashes up results from a variety of sources and comes up a dashboard or portal to all things that relate to your search term.

In a break from tradition though, Google does not have a directory address or alias under google.com, like mail.google.com or google.com/analytics.  Instead, it has its very own address wdyl.com. An interesting step away from their branding.

The Facebook Security Issue No One Seems To Worry About

Drew Hannush by Drew Hannush (8 Jun 2011)  |  3 Comments

Well, they’ve done it again…offended the masses by releasing another convenience feature. That’s right, Facebook recently released an update that (Facebook’s facial recognition feature raises more privacy concerns) can recognize your face.

Holy crap, someone might recognize my face on a social network?!  Isn’t this the point?

Frankly, I laugh at the hysteria around these feature updates.  If you use common sense, none of these will ruin your life.  In other words, understand that even if you have your profile locked down, you still shouldn’t share sensitive information on a social network and everything will be okay.

The one major security issue I see though has always been there and I have never heard one person complain about it…and it could affect 90% of the people that use Facebook. What is it, you say?

When The Free Ride Comes To An End

Drew Hannush by Drew Hannush (29 Apr 2011)  |  Leave a comment

Over the years, during the development of open source solutions, it has almost become expected that we should have free products to work with.

At our office, we have taken advantage of a lot of these services and products.  One of my favorites has been Sun Microsystems’ Open Office.  After spending $300 plus dollars on an upgrade of Microsoft Office Professional a few years back, I was frustrated to find out that Office wouldn’t install on the new laptop I bought weeks later, because it said that it would no longer upgrade to the newer versions of Microsoft Works.

This immediately sent me looking for another solution and drove me into using Open Office, which was open source and free.

The Ethics of Pricing Your Services

Drew Hannush by Drew Hannush (31 Mar 2011)  |  8 Comments

I recently used the new Facebook Question poll to get some feedback on something I have been pondering for a long time. I would really like to kick up a discussion about this in my blog, because I think its something that all service and technology business owners have to face sooner or later.

As a service provider, if you found out that your competition charged 3 to 10 times higher for their services than you…would you:
