Microsoft Releases Internet Explorer 8 Which Equals More Testing
 Microsoft has just released it’s latest browser, Internet Explorer 8 (IE8).
Apparently IE8 is a slimmed down version of IE7, faster and doesn’t crash. I’ll believe when I see it.
Many Web Browsers
Internet Explorer still commands 72.2% of the web browser market, up from 69.7% a year ago. The open-source Firefox browser is No. 2 with 17.2%. Google’s Chrome is third with just under 3% of the market.*
Notice only 3 browsers mentioned. Another browser, Safari for the Mac (and PC) was not listed.
MJS Web Solutions Tests In All Popular Browsers
I’m announcing the release to let everyone know that MJS tests and programs for the most popular web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox & Safari). And not just each web browser, but each web browser version (IE6, IE7, and now IE8) and on each computer platform (i.e. Windows & Mac).
Don’t be fooled. Some web designers/developers may not test on all of the browsers mentioned, but only one. If you want ALL of your customers to view your website without errors, make sure they test on the most popular web browsers.
My personal web browser preference is Firefox. Why? Because it is fast, user friendly and has the capability to add on applications, very similar to the popularity of Apple’s iPhone add-on apps.

Keeping Up With Google
 Google seems to be in the news each day…or many times a day. It can be daunting to keep up.
The latest is “Google preparing to steer more telephone traffic”
Yesterday: “Google software bug shared private online documents”
Here are few ways to keep up with Google:
- Google Blog
- Google Alerts
- Google News
To learn about how they’re helping the SEO community, check out Google’s blog specifically for webmasters.
Mike Swartz says, “Check it out”.

Business is All About Problems
 Business is all about problems…hell, life is about problems.
It’s the businesses or individuals to be business or life troubleshooters. We’re choice making machines…us humans.
So successful businesses correct the problems.
In web terms…
Q: What is the problem you want to solve with your website?
Answer this question and you’re half way there.

Skittles New Website. Who Cares?
Is this the corporate website of the future?
The new Skittles website.
Really…the website is just direct links to social networking sites talking about Skittles. I understand the popularity of sharing, but this seems way over the top.
