About JohnB
This is the about myself bit.
Okay, the rumours were true and yesterday (April 8th 2010) Apple’s Steve Jobs announced the release of OS4 for iPhone (rolling out to iPod and iPad soon).
OS4 has 100 new user features, and the one that was most anticipated (at least by the marketing community) was the iAd mobile advertising platform.
Developers have been embedding single adverts in Apps for a while but this is obviosly limited. iAd works like Google AdSense and delivers appropriate adverts into your App experience. iAd allows advertising to appear directly within iPhone Apps, without the need to be redirected to a website.

Okay, first things first we need to clarify that Internet Explorer (commonly known as IE) is a web browser made by Microsoft, and also that it’s currently on it’s 8th major release (i.e. IE8), with IE9 currently in Beta.
A brief History of Internet Explorer can be found on Wikipedia, which is very interesting reading (sic).
I’ve been designing websites since about 1994 so I’ve used every single version of IE and have seen it take over from the original Mosaic, fight off Netscape and now compete with Firefox as the browser of choice (with IE still accounting for over 60% of all browser usage, depending on which browser usage report you read).

Client: Anthony Briscoe (2010)
Anthony is a gifted wedding photographer specialising in reportage style images as well as the more traditional formal wedding images found in most couples albums. His focus is the Herfordshire and London catchments (and surrounding area) but he works across the country when the right projects come along. He needed a clean understated website to showcase his work, with smooth image slideshow and gallery (built with XML and JQuery).
The result can be seen at www.anthonybriscoeweddings.co.uk (mention SynEgg and you might well get a discount!).
Client: Designation (2008-2010)
Details: Touchpoint is the appropriate name for communication from Designation, focussed on the monthly e-shot supported by a blog where subscribers can post their feedback. The e-shot is on edition 25 as I write this, meaning it’s been going out on time every month for over 2 years, which is a remarkable achievement for a company this size.
My involvement is in preparing, test and sending the e-shot, in conjunction with updates to the blog, and the Designation website. I’ve also set the blog up so that updates are syndicated out to the Designation Twitter account and Facebook business page via Ping.FM. I set those social media platforms up a while back and they are also under the Touchpoint banner currently.
