Stronico gets absorbed by Digital Tool Factory
I am giving up the ghost on Stonico.com, and I will soon be shutting down the site and moving 200+ posts from the Stronico blog over here to the Digital Tool Factory blog so they can be part of an actively updated site (thank you 301 redirects). I expect that to happen slowly over the […]

So far, here is what I am tracking Blog Name Internet Power Score, defined as a function of inbound links, number of comments, and the number of twitter followers.

The 3 customer targets for Stronico
Someone recently asked me who would actually use this service and I had no specific answer for them. Lots of vague answers, but nothing specific. I decided to fix that problem. Since declaring targets defines them; these are the top three Stronico customer targets Primary Market – The near Aspberger entrepreneur – I call this […]

Startup Atlanta – March 2010 Edition

The community was quite nice (I saw a number of familiar faces, and met some new […]
General updates in February 2010
Nearly a week has gone by without any sort of posting. Rest assured that work is still being done – it’s just tedious and not very remarkable. Our second e-blast went out without incident. On a somewhat related note, might I recommend Brain Rules by John Medina – it is a wonderful book about the […]
Global microbrands, free stuff, and a new idea
Last night I read Hugh MacLeod of GapingVoid.com on Global MicroBrands. Today I had the thought that I need to establish a non-denominational reference site for social network theory to support Stronico, as well as to help push the theoretical edges of the web application. Then I remembered that I was going to do some […]
A note about the Stronico blog traffic
As you might expect, most of the traffic comes from Google, and curiously most of the search terms are about problems with QuickBooks. The How To Fix series is the second most popular. Happily the search term “Visual Contact Management” is a prominent search term as well. I’m still debating as to whether or not […]
What is the best jQuery modal popup method?
I do not know that much about jQuery, or any of it’s offshoots (jQueryUI, etc) but I do have a need for modal popups. As I am building the website in ASP.net MVC, instead of ASP.net webforms I have decided to use the jQuery platform instead of the standard Ajax Toolkit. I have looked over […]
New feature ideas for Stronico
I recently had these thoughts and I’m documenting them for version 2 of the Stronico application. Psychological profiling of contacts. I’m thinking of a simple Type A, Type B snap judgment one can make after first meeting a person. If I can think of working in the Myers-Briggs personality types that would be wonderful, but […]
