I'm proud to announce that LevelTen Interactive is now an official Acquia Silver Partner.

Acquia, co-founded by Drupal founder Dries Buytaert, provides products, services, and technical support for the Drupal content management system.

The team at LevelTen is extremely proud to be associated with one of the premier companies in the Drupal space.

Open Source, a phrase that many years made IT Managers cringe at the thought of fighting unsupported and poorly developed code. True, there are ton's of those types of applications still out there; however, Drupal has really made a strong effort to erase that mentality with an ever maturing core code base. In addition, more and more developers are creating and submitting modules to provide advanced functionality at a pace which licensed platforms simply can't keep up.

Thanks to Google's new Browser Size tool, I now know that 20% of the average Google visitor will not see the full width of the LevelTen website. This is particularly useful information to take into account when you're building a new website. You probably want to be sure your website's most important information can be found within the 90-95% regions.

Social Metrics Influencing Search Rankings

Do you really think Google will ignore social data? Crawling social sites like Twitter and Facebook was only the first step.

Expect to see Google taking social data into account for organic search rankings. There's too much link data in social sites to be ignored. Expect to see an acquisition of a service like PostRank.
