During the WiX Online Meeting this week, someone commented on the fact that I use Bing as my search engine of choice. I then went off on a tangent where I mentioned using Bing funded my music habit. For anyone that was interested, I thought I'd expound how you too could get $5 gift cards to Amazon.com and fund your favorite habit.
The WiX v3.10 release candidate was released today.
The WiX Tutorial is one of the most comprehensive resources on the web to learn the WiX toolset. Ensuring this resource remains available and stays up to date aligns perfectly with our goals at FireGiant. For that reason I am excited to note that today FireGiant takes responsibility for the WiX Tutorial.
Today we launched a refresh of the FireGiant website. One driving factor for the update was Google's mobile-friendliness ranking adjustment rolled out last week. Our site is now responsive and should render better on smaller devices. But I'm most excited about the new FireGiant blog, Setup Matters.
When I was in high school and old enough to drive I got a job at McDonald's. I really liked that job. I learned many life lessons there that had absolutely nothing to do with flipping hamburgers. This morning I was thinking about one of those lessons.
Over the last couple years, we hired silently at FireGiant. We quietly grew our team to provide the best support for the WiX toolset available. Today we did something a little different. Today we hired a giant in the WiX toolset community. Today Bob Arnson joined FireGiant.
After I reread last year's birthday update, I was struck how similar my life is exactly one year later. Thus incrementing last year's title seemed most appropriate. Today I am thirty six plus equals two.
Attention economics suggests that people's attention today is a valuable and tradable commodity. Anyone that has two cats, a toddler and a newborn knows that attention is valuable and scarce. What I haven't found is a service that actually trades some other resource (money?) for attention.
