Make sense of your Twitter account with Sugarcane and Tweepi...
There is nothing better than getting a ton of followers on Twitter. That is what everyone on Twitter strives for and many succeed, but what of those that follow thousands only for very few of those to follow them back. You may as well be talking to yourself, literally. What if you could see, in one go, who is not following you back and take action quickly? Well now you can... Tweepi, come on in.
Do you know the dominant colours on the web?
A recent survey into colours people used as their brand for Twitter strongly suggested that blue was the favourite of the masses, but does this translate into the actual websites of well known brands from around the world? The answer is yes, well sort of... red gets in there too.
Sugarcane Web Content Management System Continues to Grow

There Is a Place On The Map For Everyone, Have You Claimed Yours?
One of the more useful services available from Google is the business place page. It is not a new service, but is still very much under used, particularly for the businesses that it would really help, those whose target audience is mainly local. A Google place page is totally free and takes 10 minutes to set up.

Video Footage Catches The Sugarcane Sofa Outside Doncaster & Sheffield
The Sugarcane Web Youtube Channel has revealed exclusive footage of the famous sofa on its travels, and some of them see it go out of the usual Doncaster and Sheffield area. The antics of the sofa and the Sugarcane team have never been anything other than creative and that looks set to continue in 2011 and beyond.

Social Media Strategy
Social Media has quickly become such an important part of any business. It is a particularly important tool for helping small businesses stand out from the crowd. Sugarcane Web can help you with forming a strategy for establishing a presence on networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Youtube. A clear strategy is required and each of your social media accounts should follow your official website branding as closely as possible. We started out targeting Doncaster and Sheffield and now have enquiries from much further afield as a result of our social media strategy.
