You’ve decided to build an app. Now what?

Today we’re going to discuss the pros and cons of releasing an app on specific platforms, versus releasing an app on multiple platforms. Have we lost you already?  STAY WITH US, GLAD WORKS friends!  This is awesome stuff.

Happy New Year, GLAD WORKS friends!

Last week we did a recap of 2012, so naturally this week we need to take a look at the year ahead!  What’s going to be the new hotness, and what should you be thinking about to keep on top of trends in technology, marketing and consumer habits?  We’ve done a little poking around in our collective brains and we’ve come up with a handy dandy (albeit slightly random) little list just for you.

This year is gonna be rockin!’

Customer-centric attitude

What would a holiday blog post be without a roundup of some kind or another?
 
We think it would be lame and not at all festive. It would be tragic.
 
So today we’re going to talk about some of our favorite GLAD WORKS moments of 2012. And we’re going to be really shameless and selfish about it too because we’re only going to talk about cool stuff that happened to US this year. 
 
Well, that’s not entirely true. 
 

We’ve seen it a million times if we’ve seen it once, GLAD WORKS friends. A business owner spends a lot of time and money getting an email marketing campaign together only to have it do a big giant belly flop into the FAIL pool.

It’s a shame when that happens and it makes us cry real tears of sorrow and regret because we know what could have saved that campaign. We could have helped. But all those failures have not happened for nothing because we’ve studied them and learned from them. Today, we will impart some of that wisdom.

Learn from us, Grasshopper.

One of the biggest and most anticipated improvements in the iPhone 5 revolves around the camera. Smartphones in general have become the de facto "point and shoot" that people carry around, and why not?  They're always in our hands/pockets/purses anyway, so why bother with anything else?

In the past, the answer to that question basically boiled down to "because they take better pictures."  So when Apple says they're upgrading the iPhone camera, people listen!  I know I was super stoked about it, iPhone Life-ers!  And I still am, except for one thing:  low light photography.
