Net Visionary Awards 2010
The Net Visionary Awards are right around the corner and while I wish all nominees the very best of luck, below are some I have voted for and if you have a minute to spare, please vote for these people too.
Web Designer excellence: http://www.iia.ie/net-visionary/vote/13
Web Together, previously trading as ‘David Behan Web Design’ is one of Ireland’s best web design companies in my opinion. I admire their work alot and am happy that we have companies like this to put ‘Ireland on the map’ in the design industry. Good luck David.
Best use of Social media: http://www.iia.ie/net-visionary/vote/19
Blacknight Hosting is probably the best hosting company in Ireland and one that I use to host this very site. The MD, Michele Neylon is always on twitter/facebook etc giving out crazy promotions and discounts, not that he needs to I’d say, so these guys are getting my vote for Best use of Social media. Good luck Michele.
Internet Entrepreneur: http://www.iia.ie/net-visionary/vote/7
Ronan O’ Brien is an Irish Serial Entrepreneur with some very successful businesses including The Costume Shop, Ireland’s biggest B2C e-commerce website and he is about to launch one or two more in the coming months! He is a professional, dynamic and very motivated entrepenuer. Good luck Ronan.
Voting closes: 30 April, so hurry up!

A List Apart Survey 2009
Since 2007, A list Apart have conducted a survey ‘for people who make websites’. The survey only takes a minute, so if you are involved in any way with the web, take the survey, it only takes a few minutes.
Eire Studio is on facebook
I have to admit, I haven’t given facebook much time (well, apart from farmville, cough) due to other services such as twitter etc. So last month I thought what the hell, why not create a fan page and see where it goes.
It’s actually surprisingly fun. Eire Studio has 35 fans at present and I am posting some design work that I haven’t included on this site… yet.
So if you fancy it, become a fan now!
