Six monitors, one video card
With most of us utilizing at least two monitors these days in our day to day operations, six monitors, while an awesome thought, might seem a little too excessive. After all, do we really have space for multiple video cards?

Brand Lift: Facebook’s Answer To The Brand Advertising Conundrum
There are two primary types of online advertising: direct sales marketing and branded ad campaigns. Direct sales models like online affiliate marketing or email marketing have already been proven.

If you are the average small business owner, there is a good chance that the majority of your competition isn’t doing much in the social media space.
