			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saw a great post today on pingdom&#8217;s blog highlighting the explosive growth of the Internet in 2010:</p>
<p><a title="Internet 2010 in numbers" href="http://royal.pingdom.com/2011/01/12/internet-2010-in-numbers/" target="_blank"><img title="Internet 2010 in numbers" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5087/5349205375_97c30c02e9_o.jpg" alt="Internet 2010 in numbers" width="580" height="112" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><a title="Internet 2010 in numbers" href="http://royal.pingdom.com/2011/01/12/internet-2010-in-numbers/" target="_blank">http://royal.pingdom.com/2011/01/12/internet-2010-in-numbers/</a></p>
<p>What happened with the Internet in 2010?</p>
<p>How many websites were added? How many emails were sent? How many Internet users were there? This post will answer all of those questions and many, many more. If it’s stats you want, you’ve come to the right place.</p>
<p>We used a wide variety of sources from around the Web to put this post together. You can find the full list of source references at the bottom of the post if you’re interested. We here at Pingdom also did some additional calculations to get you even more numbers to chew on.</p>
<p>Prepare for a good kind of information overload. <img src="http://royal.pingdom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /></p>
<p>&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>What I love are the crazy numbers like 89% of all email was spam (262 billion messages), 25billion tweets sent &amp; 20million Facebook apps installed a day.  2011 will be another one for the record books, no doubt!</p>

<span style="font-size:15px; color:#cc3333; font-weight:bold;">Description</span>: &#8220;In 2009, DRM Marketing created LiftKits for Chicks, as a direct result of the overwhelming response from women regarding our Men’s insoles from designer and founder Derek White. To our surprise, women were wearing our Men’s insoles as a “secret heel,” and begging for us to offer a proper Women’s line. (myliftkits.com)&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I&#8217;m happy to launch the new site and brand to kick off fall 2010.</p>
<p>9meter has come a long way since it&#8217;s humble beginnings of one geek with a passion and a very understanding and supportive wife (who kept the coffee pot hot at all hours of the night). Over the past few years of steady growth and an increase of fantastic projects, I decided it was time to step the groom up and approach the web in a fun new way.  Let&#8217;s be honest, there&#8217;s a lot that can be done online and after seeing the growth explosion of social media, I again decided it was time to focus on what people are asking for.</p>
<p>Gone are the days when corporate entities are able to play in their safe bubble. Consumers aren&#8217;t blind, in fact they can see more clear than ever before. Presenting them with the services and experiences they want on their own terms is more important than ever, in fact it&#8217;s no secret that some would say the experience is larger than the product.</p>
<p>I decided it was time to start fresh, trim the edges and add a little curl.  You may notice that in the new logo.  If you&#8217;re not having fun with your brand, you are only kidding <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">yourself</span> your customer. I&#8217;m not only excited to see what the brave new web holds, I&#8217;m thrilled to be part of shaping it.</p>
<p>Thanks for your continued support,</p>
<p>Jim Carter III<br />
