The Pulse
Formerly, Daylan was MYOB's web dude. In short, he made sure our websites work! He's got a passion for search, and is dedicated to ensuring the Australian and New Zealand sites are maximising their SEO potential - and if you're really nice he might even share some useful tips. (he's good at teaching, he used to be a TAFE instructor. True story.) With a background in multimedia, email marketing & search, he lists his hobbies as cartoons, search and nachos. In that order. (nachos can be a hobby, right?) For more information, see daylandoes.com

Read MoreWhat’s all this Cloud computing stuff about?
I was recently at a family BBQ enjoying a beer and a sausage in bread when I was asked the following: ‘Hey mate, you work in computers(sic), what’s all this Cloud computing stuff about?’ Now, being the families resident ‘computer nerd’, I’m often asked computer related questions (either that or cartoon related questions). Usually the questions are along the lines of ‘should I buy a Mac’ or ‘why i

Disclaimer: this post actually isn’t for you. This article is for that one person (or multiple people) you come across online that doesn’t seem to have a filter for what information should or shouldn’t be shared to the public. I urge you to share this with them. It’s for their own good! A few months ago a friend of mine was having a lot of trouble getting a job. She’d been to university and achieved all

Read More10 Twitter Accounts Aussie Business Owners Need to Follow
It took me a while to buy in to the whole Twitter thing. I didn’t really see the point of it. 140 characters to tell a mostly faceless audience about how you ‘just bought a #hamburger’ or how you are ‘sitting on the #toilet thinking about how funny #howIMetYourMother was last night’. How was this stupid platform in anyway benefiting the progression of mankind? But one day it dawned on me that there we

Read MoreWhy Your Business Needs to Pay Attention to Google Plus
There’s a bit of an ‘in’ joke going around the more nerdier circles of online marketing lately that the only ones using Google Plus - Google’s new(ish) social platform - are Google employees and businesses who have no idea what to do with it. This is an exaggeration, of course, and to dismiss it as a platform which nobody is using would be folly. After all, just a few days ago Google Plus hit the 100 milli

Read MoreThe Google of 1880
Kodak made photography accessible to the entire world. For over a century, if you took a photo then you likely took it using a Kodak product. Just like Google, Microsoft and the inventor of Velcro, they created a product that changed the way the world operated forever. Kodak sold cheap cameras and expensive film – that was their business model and it worked for 120 years. Unfortunately on the 121st year, that bu

Read MoreSix smart tips to meeting deadlines on time, every time
The old saying goes ‘two things in life are certain – Death and Taxes’. I’d like to formally request that this saying is altered to be ‘three things are certain in life – Death, Taxes and Deadlines’. The consequences of missing these deadlines though can range from missing your bus to angry wife or even losing your job (or perhaps even scarier losing your job and making your wife angry). So here a
