Over 30? You’re a Demographic!

After Facebook announced that its fastest growing demo was the over 30 crowd, up pops a number of social networking sites for the generation in question, such as Eons.com and TBD.com.

There is an estimated 16.5 million adults over 55 in the U.S. involved in social networks, according to ComScore, and web designers are scrambling since the demographics indicate there is a need for more content sites for these folk.

Along comes NBC Digital Networks, a division of iVillage, teaming up with Proctor & Gamble Productions, launching a new portal of sites dubbed Life Goes Strong. The brand has launched in beta with 3 verticals: family, tech and style. The content includes articles, blogs, “expert” posts, how-to vids, and polls all from the point of view of the “aging audience.”

Do your bones feel creaky just reading this?

(re)Presenting the Unique Affordable Fashions of FunkyChic.com

Another week down, another site launched. FunkyChic.com is an Ecommerce site selling “Unique, Affordable Fashions For Women & Teens” via the CS Cart system. They came to us for help in reskinning (did I just make up a word?) their entire site. Their old homepage (after the jump) had been redone at some point, but once you drilled in to any of the categories or product pages, the site was just using the default New Vision Yellow skin from CS-Cart. No thanks. READ MORE

Travis and Craig say Heeya

As I was in the process of writing all about the (re)launch of FunkyChic.com, Travis came back from FedEx-Kinko’s and, with a giant grin on his face, unwrapped some print work he and Craig had put together for the American Kickboxing Academy. Yeuh.

Survey Select Fundraiser Party a Success!

Ninthlink is one of the sponsors of the upcoming Survey Select exhibition this summer, an effort to create the Museum of Narrative Arts here in San Diego, something we feel is vital and necessary for the cultural growth of California’s expanding southern city by the border.

The fundraiser last Thursday at Case de Muprhy was well-attended by local business folk and cultural luminaries, with food and refreshments provided by Eco Caterers, Just Taste It, Sushi on a Roll, and many others!

Work from the upcoming artists could be found on the walls and against the stairwell at Casa de Muprhy, a mini-preview of things to come…

Miss it?  There will be other fundraising events, and the exhibit itself, which will go on all summer.  We hope to see you there!

The New Busy

I’ll give it to this Hotmail campaign, it did get me intrigued on what is this “The New Busy”. I mean, I’m pretty busy, and I use gmail, but then I’ve been pretty busy for at least a few years now, so I guess I’m just not the target audience here. But then, I do like it when my emails get along, and I do like pancakes in exotic animal shapes…
