One to take note of: RT @mashsocialmedia: Google+ to Businesses: Don’t Create Google+ Profiles Yet – http://on.mash.to/qYEl0b
What is Google +1?
You may have seen the new +1 buttons appearing across the web but do you know what they are?
The +1 button started appearing on Google search results and adverts back in March 2011 encouraging users to recommend content to friends and contacts. This month Google released the +1 button to the whole web so that it can be used on any web page.

Google describe the button as shorthand for “you should check this out”.
To +1 something just click on the +1 button. You need a public Google profile to help people see who made the recommendation. If you are not already logged into your Google account you will be asked to sign in.
Sign in to Google +1
A new tab in your Google profile stores your + 1′s which you can keep private or share with the rest of the world.
We’ve started to add Google +1 buttons to our ‘Share this’ tool bars. thepompomproject.com was the first of our clients sites to benefit.
Google +1 button on thepompomproject.com
If you search for pompom headscarf spring collection you will find that I have +1′d the page and it is highlighted in the Google search results.
We’re just getting used to the phrases ‘Like’ and ‘Tweet’ now you’ll be asking friends if they have +1′d a page.
We’ve had a make-over!
We are excited to launch our new website; bigger, better and totally up to date.
Our poor website always finds itself at the bottom of our ‘To Do’ list so the make-over and attention is long over-due.
Forgotten what the old site looked like? Here’s a reminder . . .

Shop Software
After years 11 years of researching, testing, cursing and banging our heads against a brick wall we believe we have found a sensible and usable solution for small scale ecommerce sites.
Magento is great for large shops, we’ve used CubeCart for medium sized sites and even built bespoke shops when required. We were missing a low budget option for people wanting to dip their toe into the ecommerce scene.
Shopify is a web-based hosted solution with an easy and simple to use interface and a get out clause; if you ever need to shut shop you can cancel the following months subscription.
We are about the set up a shop for a client. When it’s ready we’ll shout about it so you can take a look.
