Show Me the Data: Protect Yourself from 3rd-Party Data Feed Failures

With the Web 2.0 era in the rear view mirror, I wanted to touch on an aspect that was heavily played and still continues to this day. Integration of 3rd-party data into websites. However, the popularity and ease of use for many APIs and the portability of Web 2.0 applications has an underlying side effect, if not integrated properly. I have come across many websites accessing 3rd-party data from places such as Flickr, Twitter, etc. that are not following the basic principles and the lack thereof should raise the question, "what happens if these 3rd-party services fail?". Many sites are not applying the appropriate contingency design plans to allow continued functionality during a failure. Caching data calls to APIs is just an example of good contingency design. In fact, many APIs will require caching - like that of Amazon - but, I suspect this is intended to help limit resource use of the API host, not the site using the API. The reasons a person using API-accessed data on their website should cache are:

1. To speed up the website's load time
2. To have a back up plan if the API call fails

A simple implementation to handle these two cases would be one that caches an API call for a given amount of time and one that freshens stale, cached data and triggers an error should an API call fail.

This post is a bit late to the party but is worth writing as I have recently come across at least three sites where Firebug and other widgets have revealed issues such as retrieving API fetched data and sluggish site loading times. A decent implementation idea would be to roll your own caching wrapper and plug it in to a stable caching tool, perhaps something like Cache Lite for PHP. In this manner, you have a reusable, caching library independent piece of code that can handle caching/flushing and refreshing of data, which could function to handle the two cases discussed above.

For more pointers on this topic, please contact us. We are happy to assist.

Ingenux Brings Thanksgiving to Hungry Oklahomans

December 2nd, 2009

Ingenux partnered with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma to host the annual Ingenux Turkey Day Food Drive to help feed those who are less fortunate this season. Within two weeks, Ingenux was able to collect 294 food items along with cash donations totaling $725. The cash donations alone will provide hungry Oklahomans with 5,075 meals. Ingenux is proud to say that last year's goal was surpassed with an astounding outcome.

When does Minimalist Web 2.0 Design go too Far?

Every month a breath of new web design projects filter into our company. As our core expertise and business focus is custom web and software application development, my attention is more distant with regards to corporate design now-a-days. However, my eyes caught a project in the works and I thought to myself "When does minimalist web 2.0 design go too far?" What I mean by that is how clean and clutter free can a website get until the allure of the service or product falls by the wayside? There is definitely a happy means or "Zen" that needs to be reached during the design process.In web design, minimalism refers to the use of the smallest amount of images, colors, shapes, values and lines. The site is stripped down to the fundamentals required to convey the message. Minimalist web designs generally rely on type and simple shapes to do the communicating. This minimalist approach has evolved in some circles as the basis of web 2.0 design. The backbone of the web 2.0 era that ushered in blogs, videos, podcasts, wikis and online communities where people with common interests get together to share ideas, media, code and all types of information was meant to be more - not less, but designed in a way where information is easily accessed on a clean and simple layout. This is a far cry from the "massive content, image heavy with more features to shake a stick at" era which for the most of us, is a recent memory.

A Cloudy Day Ahead?

As Ingenux reached its 10-year birthday recently, we have seen many fads or "the next best thing" come and go related to the internet. The new "thing" is cloud computing and if you haven't jumped on this bandwagon yet, here are the top 4 reasons why you should look for sunnier days.

1. Cloud Computing makes your IT excessively dependent on the InternetCloud Computing exists on the premise that the Internet will always be as robust and reliable for all time to come. While one can be fairly optimistic, there is always the danger of the unforeseen Armageddon. For example, congressmen in the United States are pushing for bills that can shutdown/limit internet traffic in the event of war, so that they can stick to their prescribed content on television. If a company loses internet connectivity to its cloud even for a few days, as a result of an Internet outage affecting either it or the Cloud Computing Service, there could be very damaging consequences. I am not talking about your E-store going offline. Suppose the daily activities of your company were on a database on a cloud? In such a scenario, you may wish your servers were in a makeshift bunker in your backyard, rather than on the cloud.And because of its dependence on the internet, Cloud Computing can never perform as a substitute for in-house servers. For example, there are speed limits, related to hardware and bandwidth, when transferring data to and from the cloud via the internet. Using VPNs and SSL tunnels can further slow the speed.

2. Cloud Computing makes you dependent on the goodwill of your ISPCloud Computing may require large bandwidth for the client, depending on what the client is hosting on the cloud. And the same ISPs who are clamoring for bandwidth caps may charge an arm and a leg if the client exceeds his or her bandwidth quota.

3. Cloud Computing is sounding more like a Fad than a TrendSuddenly, all ringers, gurus, and experts are clamoring for Cloud Computing. Articles are appearing in respectable publications weighing the pros and cons. Business heads are flaunting how they managed to cut costs. Are you willing to "invest" your data in the newest scheme?

4. Cloud Computing may be of little consequence for the Average Small BusinessThe May 2009 issue of WIRED carried an interesting article on Cloud Computing, highlighting pros and cons. The key example cited in favor of Cloud Computing was an Eli Lily information consultant, who as a client of Amazon Web Services uses his iPhone to run "genomic analysis" on the cloud. How many businesses executives can picture themselves doing this?

Auto One Transport Launches New Vehicle Shipping Website

t. A Facebook Page is a public page created for companies that enable you to share your business and products with Facebook users. The profiles are easy to create with Facebook's simple interface and it's free. Those interested in following your brand can become "fans", and when they do, all their friends will see this.

· Applications give you full power to say or promote anything you want about your business, and use the social tie-ins provided by Facebook to do this.

· Facebook has a powerful advertising engine that enables businesses to specify a specific demographic target.

Taking Your Business to the Web: Top 4 Common Mistakes

In speaking with thousands of business owners over the years, it is amazing how many business owners make the exact same mistakes over and over again. Many business owners don’t plan and assume their same success offline will transfer over to the world wide web. I have accumulated the top 4 re-occurring mistakes by business owners below that I have seen over the years. Making one or all of these mistakes could cost a company thousands of dollars initially, and take away from tens of thousands of potential dollars they should be making monthly from their website.

1. Done too early!
The biggest mistake most small businesses owners make is getting their website done too early. A smart business owner will first research their target audience in their specific Internet market, and only then build their website around their research.

A business owner needs to get training on how to find a target web audience in a specific niche market. They need to determine which keywords their website needs to be designed around, in order to bring in customers from search engines and other sources. A huge mistake made by business owners is they get their website formed around very broad keywords which have too much competition.

2. Pay too much or too little!
Most web development companies quote very high prices on web and graphic design, and most small business owners make the mistake of going with those companies. They charge for flashy features that will never bring in traffic and will never make the website any money.

Here's a simple question. Would you rather hire someone that charges $10 per hour and takes 50 hours to complete an assignment, or someone that charges $50 per hour and takes 10 hours?

Easy answer - you would take the $50 per hour at 10 hours! Why? Because the quality of work, speed, and the final product will be top notch!

You may also get a very low quote from an offshore company, but beware - there are many problems with offshore designers: their English isn’t great, you can’t reach them on the phone, the time-zone difference becomes a huge problem - while you’re awake they are sleeping, payment is a problem because you have to wire them money, trust and legal issues can be a huge mess, their marketing knowledge is very limited to their country because they have no knowledge of the marketing techniques and economics of your country.

We have built such an incredible reputation with our clients that 50% of our work comes from referrals. Because of this, we have no expense on advertising and are able to give you a low price. In most cases, we’ll be able to beat any price quote you get. Also keep in mind, that with Ingenux, you’re not getting just a website, you’re getting consultation, training, and a website that actually sells!

3. Making it too pretty and flashy!

One of the biggest mistakes a small business owner makes is they ask and pay for a website that is all looks and no sales, no marketing. They spend thousands of dollars on a “pretty” website full of flashy effects which brings in $0 in revenue. You have to ask yourself, what good is a flashy website when no one comes to it?

Sure, major companies spend a lot of money on making their website extravagant, flashy, and interactive, but they already have traffic because of their name. The last thing a smart business owner would do is copy the idea of having an expensive flashy website like those of Fortune 500 companies. A smart business owner understands that for a website to sell its main focus needs to be copywriting and marketing, and will put design second. Now why would Ingenux, a design/development company, tell you that design should come second?

Ingenux knows that for a company to be successful on the Internet, that company must direct their focus on marketing their website and worry about how it looks last. When our clients make money using our advice, training, and of course our design services, they are extremely happy and thankful. When our clients are happy, they bring us more business through referrals, and we become even happier. Sure we'd love to take thousands of dollars for a flashy site, but that is not what we're about. We would rather build a professional website that brings your company traffic which turns to revenue. This is what makes our website development company different from any other.

4. No traffic, no money!

Traffic = Revenue, period! Without a single visitor you are not going to make a single buck from your website, sorry, no other way around it. After you go through our free preliminary training and consultation, you will know exactly what you need, to make your business successful online. You will learn which keywords your site needs to focus on, what needs to be done in order to get traffic to your website, and how to turn the visitors into dollar signs!

By now we hope you understand how a company becomes successful on the Internet, and how it fails by making 4 huge mistakes. You are now educated and ready to proceed to the next step.

Microsoft Internet Explorer: The worlds most popular browser?


From the Developement Department at Ingenux
By Jeremy Ramsey


There was a time when industry leading web developers would not have thought twice before confirming that Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) was the world’s leading web-browser. MSIE's popularity is driven by its leading support for new technologies, it's ease of use, and it's integration with the world's leading operating system, Microsoft Windows.


However, since the introduction of Mozilla's 'Firefox' line of browsers, these views of browser dominance are significantly changing. In 2002, prior to Mozilla's introduction into the web community, the MSIE line of browsers accounted for 83.4% of web-surfers on the net. One year after its introduction in 2003, Mozilla was offering a browser that supported many of the same features as MSIE. 2004 saw Mozilla take off in the internet community accounting for 16.5% of web-surfers on the net.

Since the rebranding of the Mozilla browser line to the new "Firefox" family, they're support and loyalty has continued to thrive. In 2006, Firefox 2 was released, this latest edition from Mozilla saw added support for the majority of MSIE features as well as several features that MSIE did not have at the time, including the ever-popular "tabbed-browsing". Within a year of its release, Firefox had skyrocketed to nearly 40% of web-surfers preferred browsers, while MSIE's popularity had stumbled to 56%.

2008 saw the release of the latest version of Mozilla's Firefox browser, Firefox 3. This version is nearly interchangeable with MSIE and provides additional security features and, what some have come to refer to as "true css", which allows for better interpretation of website coding and smoother more accurate renderings of what designers intended their websites to look like on the web. By the end of 2008, Firefox support had reached new record levels, accounting for 44.4% of web-surfers on the net. This milestone is considerably more significant than any before it because it marks the first time since MSIE's inception that has not held the majority of support. MSIE's share of web-surfers came in at 45.7%.

This year, Microsoft released Internet Explorer 8, this new version has a slew of new features to better compete with Mozilla, including reported support of "true css" rendering. Only time will tell what effect this will have on the overall market, however, we can report that as of April:

*MSIE (All versions) accounts for 42.1% of web-surfers on the net.
*Firefox (All versions) accounts for 47.1% of web-surfers on the net

While we certainly recommend continuing to include MSIE in your website design plans, however it looks like Firefox may now be bringing the majority of traffic to your website.

Ingenux builds education application for American Lung Association

The American Lung Association contracted Ingenux to develop a dynamic flash website that allows users to gain perspective on potentially dangerous radon exposure in homes and the ideal location to place detectors.

Recently completed, the visually stimulating multi-dimensional flash website gives visitors the opportunity to navigate through all rooms of a multi-dimensional house. In every room, heart icons are positioned in locations that the American Lung Association recommends for checking radon levels in the home. Clicking on a heart reveals information about why this location within the home is preferable for placing a radon detector.

Radon is a radioactive gas that is impossible to see, smell or taste and is found at high levels in every state in America. Seeping into homes through surrounding soil and could possibly contaminate well water. Second only to cigarette smoking, Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.

ToonieAds.com, named for the Canadian Toonie which is the equivalent of about $2 USD, has found a new and innovative way to advertise goods and services. Instead of advertising on traditional media, ToonieAds.com offers the ability to place a video ad on a monitor located in a wide variety of businesses around the globe. For example, if you have a pharmacy, the site’s service will let you place an ad in an affiliated doctor’s office. This allows you to target the right audience, letting you do more business.

Not only does this allow businesses to choose where, when and how often their video ad is played, but it also creates a business opportunity for monitor location owners, monitor suppliers and ad designers to generate an additional stream of income.

ToonieAds offers a global network of monitors allowing you to create an ad, buy an ad or place an ad at any available location for $2.00 a day, hence the name ToonieAds.com
