Fixoutlook.org - Using Twitter to petition Microsoft

A little over a week ago our friends at Campaign Monitor asked us to help them use Twitter to send a message to Microsoft about their decision to use the Word rendering engine in Outlook 2010. The result was http://fixoutlook.org and an unprecedented 20,000 strong online movement that took both us and Microsoft by surprise.

Espresso - A sugar sweet web development experience

In case you haven’t heard yet, or don’t use Twitter, Espresso by MacRabbit was released a couple of days ago. To describe Espresso is rather easy - imagine all the good parts about Coda (The all-in-one solution and the nice interface), and all the good parts about TextMate (awesome text editing capabilities, snippets, and most of all, expandability), and you’ve got Espresso.

I’ve been working with Espresso since the private beta, and it’s come a long way. I won’t do a complete feature breakdown and a comparison with its competitors, I’ll just go through some of my favourite features and explain why it’s worth taking a look at.

Building Campaign Monitor

Newism recently launched the new Campaign Monitor website - which so far is our biggest and most advanced project to date. Along the way we learned some fantastic things about building and deploying a major site, and rather than keep all of this amazing new learning to ourselves we've decided to share it via a multi-part blog series. Huzzah!

Webqem and Red Square merge

Webqem and Red Square have played an integral role in Newism's existence. I'd like to say thanks.

Personally, this is fantastic news for me, as Webqem was where I learned everything about the web, and Red Square was one of the main companies that supported me in my early days of freelancing.

Hi, from Anthony!

Hi there, my fellow web people. My name is Anthony Short, and I'm the junior web designer and developer here at Newism.

Yes, that means my daily duties can include brewing coffee and fetching the paper - but when I’m not doing that, I’m designing and developing for the web. Fortunately, I’m currently the only employee with the official title of “Web Designer / Developer”, so I still hold that over the higher-ups, and it makes me feel just a little bit special.
