Added RSS Feed to Algorithm Intelligence

I recently added an RSS feed to the main page of AlgorithmIntelligence.com. The goal is to watch Google Analytics over the next few weeks to see if my site's rankings rise a bit. The RSS feed is a Microsoft security update feed for Service Packs and Security updates.

I will post findings if there is significant change.

Thin Client vs. Thick Client

The debate still rages on...no, not PC or Mac, but should my application be thick client or thin client. Thick client applications are those that require an application be installed on your desktop. Thin client applications are those that utilize the Web browser in order to run. So, which is right for you and what are the pros and cons of each?

Thin client:

Pros:
-Run from any Web browser
-Does not require installation
-Can be hosted remotely for security reasons
-Implementation and maintenance from one centralized location, the application server.

Cons:
-Application has to be coded for multiple types of Web Browsers
-Requires the application be run from an application server (For Example:Windows Server running IIS)
-Reqires network hardware and/or and Internet connection

Thick client:

Pros:
-Does not require an application server
-Does not require network hardware or Internet service (Unless a database must be accessed)

Cons:
-Must be installed locally on users computer
-Implementation and Maintenance nightmare

Depending on what your needs are is really the deciding factor. If you have one computer, and only need the application on that computer, then Thick Client is the quickest way and most efficient way to go. However, if others need access to the application, at multiple locations, then an Internet-based Thin Client application is right for you.

Algorithm Intelligence can help you make this decision and give your company the application it needs. Speak up and let us know what you think about this long-time debated issue.

Applications for Small Business

Why do small businesses have a hard time getting seen? One reason is the funds available for advertising. Large corporations have entire budgets for advertising. Many of these budgets are larger than your small business income for an entire year.

How can you close the advertising gap? Answer: The Internet. The Internet is a place where your business can be seen next to the giant companies you visit or shop at everyday. With a little drive, determiniation and some programming assistance your site can get noticed next to or higher than your larger competitors. And, isn't that why you are in business, to get seen and sell your products. There's no place better right now than the Internet. And, there is nothing better than having your site show up on Google, and look impressive, next to those companies that pay millions for their online presence.
