June 29 - Sorry for the gap between updates but we've been busy. We've launched, or are about to launch, three good-sized Web sites (Alan Brasington Network, New Paltz, NY; Lady of the Lake Learning Systems, Phoenix, AZ; and ShootingStar Gallery, Kittery, ME). All three have secure e-commerce areas and Alan Brasington Network incorporates RealPlayer streaming video clips. They will be live by mid-July at the latest.

We'd like to bid a fond farewell to yourphotos.com. While the concept of allowing the general public to create and publish their own photo albums on the Internet might be a good one, we are not a marketing company and never brought the idea past the development stage. More out of curiosity than anything else, we decided to put the business up for auction on Ebay, and lo' and behold, it sold. We wish the best of luck to the purchaser.

Finally, we'd like to welcome The Barash Group, our first New York City agency, to our growing list of interactive development shops contracting our services for back-end development. We're assisting in the development of dynamic and administrative features for a multi-billion dollar investment firm. We'll keep you posted on a launch date.

I'd like to express my enthusiasm for Ebay. We listed yourphotos.com because we just had to "see what all of the fuss was about," figuring no one would find the listing and bid on it (you know there are over 2 million auctions going on, on any given day). But people did find it, and we're really impressed with the whole operation. It was easy to register, easy to list an item and we received terrific support during the whole auction process. Try it and you'll understand why they are such a hot commodity.
