I’m wondering what’s new for networkers in 2012. Great article about the QR codes. A lot of people are still confused as to how they work and/or have never seen one.
Jen, Happy New Year to you as well as the team at Compete. May it be a very fruitful year for you and all concerned.
Favorite memory of 2011, GETTING MARRIED! I married the love of my life in 2011, so that will forever be my favorite year.
Anyhow, awesome post. I love the link over to Mashable (5 Tools For a Big League Website on a Budget). Shopify is definitely my top-pick for inexpensive, eComm needs.
