I took a look at our web analytics this morning and noticed that in the last couple months, the iPad came to life in the data. In fact it accounted 80% of all mobile traffic (with iPhone accounting for 19.5% and Android 0.5%).

What is the future of television and how does it affect your business? It all comes back to the iPhone.

A few months ago I saw an amazing new accessory for the iPhone; a diabetes tester that plugged into the 30 pin USB connector and an accompanying app to control it. That's the true genius of the iPhone. Is it a phone? A game machine? A web browser? A diabetes tester? It's all of these things, because it's just a screen. It's just a window into whatever app you have open. Apple told AT&T to let go of designing phones and focus on building infrastructure.

Google's algorithms are both patented and even mysterious at times. One thing we do know is the importance of creating the right kind of backlinks.

What the heck's a backlink?

A backlink is merely a link somewhere on the Internet that points back to your website and they matter for at least two reasons. The first reason is that they bring you traffic. People see these links and click on them, ending up at your website. The second reason is that Google uses these links to learn about your website. Backlinks help determine where in search engines your website appears.

If you've been paying attention to Google's developer conference, where the advertising giant took several shots across the bow at Apple, or the short and cryptic email response from Steve Jobs, you know that the mobile wars are upon us. Google is casting itself as the pure, well-intentioned open source leader. Apple, for its part, is keeping the iPhone OS platform on a steady, and closed, bearing.

So what does this mean for your business online?

Reporting live from DrupalCon San Francisco...

Currently listening to an interesting discussion about TimeOut's adaptation of Drupal 6 and the cloud, completely replacing their existing .NET platform. Drupal seems to have done wonders for the magazine, helping them to dramatically reduce support and technology costs while providing them with a much more modern platform.

Of course, they are preaching to the choir!

The MPLS Marketing Team

Reporting to you live from DrupalCon 2010...

Just wrapped up a really interesting conference about managing projects, technology, and culture at Twitter, hosted by an engineer from the company. One thing that sparked my interest, given two recent projects we began work on, is Twitter's use of a content delivery network (CDN) to dramatically improve performance and scalability, while keeping costs in check.

Check back for more updates! And yes, we are cross-posting this to Twitter thanks to our websites' API integration.

The MPLS Marketing Team

DrupalCon is upon us and we're proud to have MPLS in attendance. Joining me will be Drew, one of our project managers, and a trusty iPad to show off our projects, designs, and web applications. Oddly enough, Minneapolis has been 20 degrees warmer than San Francisco, so we won't be spending very much time on the beach.

We will report back with photos and posts from the convention throughout our trip next week, beginning on Monday the 19th.

We're thrilled to announce that MPLS Marketing and our sister company Winn Apps are heading to San Francisco for DrupalCon Expo! DrupalCon is a developer summit taking place at the Moscone Center in April.

I will be personally trucking around an iPad with one of our project managers, Drew, to show off the latest in MPLS module contributions, Drupal websites, and web applications. We will also be blogging from the expo, including text and photo updates to both the MPLS blog and our Twitter account, so be sure to check back!

This week we're proud to have launched McBride Electric's site, which runs on the Drupal content management system. We plan to be very busy in 2010 and that means we're hiring!

MPLS is looking for a crazy talented web designer who is passionate about standards and doesn't mind sweating the details to get it right. If you think you have Photoshop chops, please send us an email through our contact form.
