New Leaves on the Tree

Introducing an All NEW Jtree.net

As much as we loved our old website *sniff*, it wasn’t mobile friendly… enough. So, we went back to the drawing board ISO of something with an agile framework, extensible features and modifiable design elements to boot. It took a while, as all good things of this nature do, but we think we found and cultivated a winner!

Here’s a quick look at the old Jtree.net (so long good buddy)…

The new Jtree looks good on any screen, as we tested it with Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows and Ubuntu machines while utilizing different web browsers on each device. It even loads a few parsecs quicker. So crisp you could eat it. If you like crispy things.

Here’s a quick look at the shiny, new Jtree.net…

SEO in Boise Event

In Boise? Yep. SEOinBOI #4!

Marshall Simmonds, Kevin Gamache and I would like to invite those involved the search marketing and optimization space in the Treasure Valley to our 4th meetup.

Last time, we had Rand Fishkin of SEOmoz speak, this time we’re going to turn it down a notch and watch Kevin juggle and ride a unicycle while reverse engineering Google’s algorithm. While that would rawk, the true agenda for SEOinBOI #4 is centered around open discussion.

Come with your ideas on what you would like to see at future meet-ups, and of course, any pertinent topics that you’ve got intel on, or would like to discuss.

Please Facebook RSVP

Date: Thursday, February 2nd
Location: Cole Marr Coffee House [Google] [Foursquare]
Time: 5pm

Seasons Greetings!

Happy Holidays!

It is that time of the year again. We’ve already had a generous helping of Buddy the Elf, and it’s not even December yet!

We’ve been movin’ and a shakin’ this holiday season no doubt. Now that Thanksgiving is past, Christmas and the New Year will be here in no time flat. Downtown Boise has been freshly decorated, no snow… yet!

Here are a few pictures taken near the office…

Earlier this month, Rand Fishkin (and myself) presented at SEOinBOI #3. It was a unique experience that took place in a more relaxed environment than a typical conference.

A few pictures from the event…

The event attendees were top-notch; a high-quality group from throughout the region, many of which braved icy roads on the way in and out of Boise.
