Welcome to the newest edition of The List, a collection of random things that have caught my eye in the past few weeks. The List always includes an update on what some GetCreative clients are up to, some goodies from ‘the internets’, and anything that seems worth mentioning. If it provokes a smile, makes my life easier or is generally awesome- I will share it here.
Social media for business is not a new idea by any means, but many business owners still struggle to manage and maintain various social networking accounts. There are many factors to consider when dealing with social media, from deciding which networks to pursue to knowing how and when to update them, plus the challenge of constantly generating valid content. This post will discuss each of these issues and more, providing some helpful hints for businesses looking to create and maintain a successful presence in online communities.
Accompanying our new post series ‘The List’ is another new series here at Getting Creative called Trend Spotting. The inspiration for this topic comes from the creative forces at Design Shack, and the posts will focus on current trends in the design world. I will provide examples and critique the usage of each trend as it applies to the web design, graphic design and/or photography industries.

As a website owner you know that having a website won’t do you any good if you don’t have somewhere to host it. Web Hosting is the physical space on a server that your site occupies, as well as access to the World Wide Web. For some companies, including some GetCreative clients, a web hosting account is accessed so rarely after the initial setup that keeping track of a where the site is hosted, not to mention a username and password to access it, can be tricky. Today’s find will help with the first part of this dilemma: finding out what company is hosting your website.

Today, January 18th, is a day of internet strike against censorship. Next week Congress is voting on one bill that will pass internet censorship in the U.S. There are two bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House and PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate, that would largely affect Americans’ access to information online.
