The web is filled with a TON of resourceful sites for designers but with so many where do you begin? On top of that, how do you find the BEST info for designers on the web and cut through the clutter? Well, the team at Squeaky has done the searching, researching and testing for you. We have compiled a list of the top 20 resources for designers and developers out there seeking to learn more, enhance their skills or just get a heavy dose of inspiration.
With so much information available on the web, it’s hard to distinguish between fact and fiction. And as avid internet users, we’re typically weary of blogs and individual sites as valid sources of information but when it comes to major publications we—for the most part—tend to believe what we read. The following is our own retraction/correction and an example of why we should not always believe everything we read.
Recently our in-house start up, Crowdbeacon was written about in Entrepreneur Magazine.
Even though it is an honor for our agency and the product, it was unfortunately inaccurate in naming the mobile application’s creators. Crowdbeacon was actually the brainchild of start-up expert, Robert Boyle, Anthony Del Monte and a skilled Sardinian developer named, Luca Columbu. Scott Wells was misquoted as the co-creator because he was the one who conducted the phone interview. Scott is one of our lead strategists and was important in launching Crowdbeacon’s social media and marketing efforts.
For the most part, the other details of the article are true but in publishing this correction, we wanted to highlight Luca for all his hard work and dedication in developing Crowdbeacon. They may have neglected to mention you Luca, but we know how hard you worked; all the hours you put in and we are glad to have an intelligent developer such as yourself on the Squeaky team.
Grande Opera!
