Facebook is Worlds Largest Library of Photography
Holy Guacamole! Did you know that Facebook hosts 140 billion photos, and will add 70 billion this year, according to the blog of photo-sharing site 1000memories. Putting this in context, 1000memories made the visualization above which shows how big Facebook’s library of photos are in comparison to other photo sharing sites, as well as the Library of Congress. Incredibly, Facebook is hosting 4% of all photos ever taken, according to 1000memories. It estimates 3.5 trillion photos have been taken through history.
Ninthlink Launch: The Evans School
The Evans School came to Ninthlink looking for an updated web design to give their site a fresh new look. In addition to the new theme and color palette, we boosted the site’s functionality and interactivity in the from of a blog, allowing the school to make important announcements and educate prospective families about their school. One cool aspect of the blog, is the inclusion of a section for ‘Present Parents’, which requires a username and password to view, providing a private and efficient medium for the school to inform their students and their families.
The homepage features a rotating hero image with some of the school’s core messaging such as kindness, loyalty and integrity, in addition to prominent calls to action for 2 of their most important conversion points: scheduling a tour and contacting them, with ‘Schedule a Tour’ continuing to appear in the top right of each page throughout the site (an important location to maximize conversions).

Google AdSense AdChoices : I can appreciate what you are trying to do, but…
What are AdChoices? AdChoices are, basically, Google’s way of tailoring their AdSense ads to better suit you, personally – “to make these ads as relevant and useful as possible for you.” Of course, don’t just take my word for it. And while that is all fine and well, I have yet to find the setting in their Ads Preferences Manager that says “hey, if it is 4:15pm on a Tuesday, maybe don’t show me ads for Madden 12, which is sitting lonely in my PS3 while I am trying to finish up today’s work.” Sigh.
Cool Finds for Google Gmail – Labs Tab!
