So what do Google™ and gas stations have in common? Well, nothing really, unless you are a gas station attendant and you are asked for directions to here, there, and places you have never heard of before. This tedious task (unless you do not mind the human interaction) of giving directions may soon become a thing of the past, introducing Google™ at the gas pump!

Wow, that seems really interesting, buy why should I care?

If you own a business that has a physical address, you should. This just adds another reason why your business should be listed, and up-to-date, in Google™ Maps. Some others include Google™ 411 and Google™ Maps for your Phone. You can also add Google™ Maps for your Website.

In case you have never seen the mapping system, take a gander here:

Pretty cool huh? Add or edit your businesses information on Google™ Maps today, or contact us and we can help you out.

Thanks to Seth Godin and his post titled “This changes everything” I stumbled upon the following:

This is the official laptop per child (OLPC) donation page for people who would like to donate a laptop. For those of you unfamiliar the One Laptop Per Child project has been going on for sometime. According to the OLPC website:

The OLPC Foundation’s mission is to stimulate local grassroots initiatives designed to enhance and sustain over time the effectiveness of laptops as learning tools for children living in lesser-developed countries.

As Seth Godin put it, a lot of interesting things will begin to happen when children discover this new technology. As someone ingrained in the technology industry it is some times easy to forget that not everyone has access to this world (of techonlogy). I do remember moving from Central New Jersey to Minneapolis during middle school and being struck by the difference in computer equipment. My Middle school in New Jersey had great, top-of-the-line equipment, while my new school was stuck with old Apple II’s. This is a small difference when compared with someone who might have never even seen a laptop before.

As many of you probably already know we have added a new client representative to the Unique ID Web Design team, Jermaine Primus.

Unique ID was happy to help the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Florida with their country themed charity auction “The Howl 2007” Saturday evening at the Naples Beach Hotel. The night was great, some of us chickened out of dressing up like cowboys, some didn’t! There were live wolves, caricatures, finger painting, and most of all a successful silent auction to help raise money for the charity to help support local children.

Although the night was fun, it was long, and a lot of hard work, but well worth it. We would especially like to thank Julie Gutierrez and Esther Toussaint. Thank you guys very very much for all of your help!

We have pledged a certain amount of time and resources to help the community and local charity organizations, with that said if you know of a local organization that needs help with anything (physical labor, web design, etc.) please feel free to contact us, and likewise, if you too would like to help out, just let us know.
