And yeah, I think as long as you are honest with people about what you do and do not know then 9/10 they will be cool with it - as long as you don't appear to be taking their money for on-the-job training. I can think of a few times where a client has said "and what about this?" And I've said that I have no idea but I'll look into, see if it is useful for them and then pull together some ideas. I would never blindly say yes as it may be that what they want is neither practical or useful for their aims - but they think they want it as it's a buzzword. I saw a lot of the with Audioboo. Thanks David.

Not sure if you have had a redesign but I am loving the beautiful minimal design. Very efficient and effective. :) Regarding the article I couldnt agree more unfortunately the internet wing of business is a load of jargon to many technophobe company directors and therefore the opportunity for web people to pull the wool over someones eyes presents itself. There are a lot of people selling such services which have no idea of the depth of some of the platforms they claim to be able to assist you with. Like no knowledge of FBML, Lexicon, Fan Page Insights and much much more. It is an industry so fast paced some can be forgiven for not being completely up to date but there is a difference between that and just plain ignorance. Keep up the good work Craig.
