As we’ve been doing some late spring cleaning here on the IT side of things, I recently ran over a whitepaper we produced a couple years ago regarding organic search engine optimization. Still very relevant, I thought I’d share the fantastic work of our own Stephen Dewitsky, now our Director of Mobile Engineering, in his publication: Eight Steps to Organic Search Engine Optimization.

MobilePipes grows up!

The MobilePipes team works hard on our product suite making sure that our customers are buying software that is top notch, bright and shiny, reliable, easy to use, stands the test of time, and, well you get the point!  We could assure all day long that our products meet this criteria but we took the extra steps to prove it. 

MobilePipes was officially certified by Microsoft this month as a certified product.  This means a lot for our marketing and sales material because we get to include the logo all over the place, but more importantly, it assures our customers that they are buying a quality product. 

For those familiar with the process we ensured that our code meets the Microsoft standard for .NET based Web Services, Managed Code, and Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V. 

SyndicatedBlogs is a fairly new blog.  The staff here at Syndicated Methods are feeling our way through things to see what format works best for our company and customers.  We started the blog with lots of development tips and tricks that we found useful, but  hey, isn't that what  Google is for? Maybe people will stumble across those types of posts and find them useful but acting as a third party "tid bit" aggregation service will not serve our customers well.  It takes time to write those posts and make sure the content is relevant, and that is time taken away from product development and implementation work.

After some looking back we realized that we want a blog to distribute information about our organization and products that users would never see outside of the organization.  Tips and tricks about how to use MobilePipes is much more suitable for this channel.  And upcoming news such as MobilePipes becoming a Microsoft Certified Product (well, let's not get ahead of ourselves, this is pending approval of Microsoft but we are confident :)).

So, the future of this Blog will be dedicated to development news in the industry that relates to our services and products.  Additionally, news and tutorials about our products and client components for using those products.  I will conclude with an article from Joel Spolsky, to be exact, his last Inc. article where he posted hindsight on the blogging phenomena and gave tips for corporate blogs that are in line with this new strategy for SyndicatedBlogs.

Joel Spolsky's Last Word

{ Happy Blogging }

It is about 1:48 here in Boston, and I am writing my first post to the Syndicated Methods blog!  I recently started with Syndicated Methods to help out with a lot of the technology needs of the organization.  Adding the ability for our developers to fling our thoughts about development into cyber space is a must, hence, welcome to the SyndicatedBlogs. 

I plan on updating this with all the cool and trendy stuff that we do here at Syndicated Methods.  You will also find whatever rant, praise, or rambling thoughts I might have on a given day.  I promise to keep them related to development ... well ... yeah I promise :). 

Hope you enjoy, and stay tuned ...
