The economic crash has business owners worldwide scrambling to identify ways to find new customers and to market their businesses economically. Now, Dexx Williams, successful entrepreneur and owner of Unique Profit Systems, has come up with an app for that – for only $2.99.

Blogs often become more than a way to just communicate; they become a way to reflect on life, or works of art.

Few personal blogs rise to fame and the mainstream, but some personal blogs quickly garner an extensive following. One type of personal blog, referred to as a microblog, is extremely detailed and seeks to capture a moment in time.
