This year marks the 5th year in a row that Clockwork has been named one of the Twin Cities Best Places To Work.  There are many awards worth pursuing in this industry, but for a number of reasons, this is an award that we not only really appreciate, but take very seriously.  You may or may not know that this award is the result of a survey distributed to the staff - so it's not based on what we say we are, but what *they* say we are.  For obvious reasons, we feel like that is the real honor.  And the Best Places To Work award serves our business very well.  It helps us attract talented professionals when we're looking to staff up.  It's always a solid point of conversation in new business and at networking events.  We never take for granted how lucky we are to be included on such a distinguished list of progressive, successful organizations. 

Last January, this post over at Cult of Mac sparked some Clockwork debate about the various benefits and drawbacks for companies contemplating the development of their very own iPhone app.

Clockwork recently hosted a UPAMN event entitled, "Neuro Web Design - What Makes Them Click?", presented by Dr. Susan Weinschenk. Dr. Weinschenk's application of Psychology to technology and her work in the field of User Experience Strategy is compelling and engaging. In her presentation, she discussed the mind's ability to make unconscious decisions and what that means for us as Information Architects and User Experience Designers.

It's no secret that Clockwork Notebooks are some of the most sought after swag at MSP geek gatherings, but they aren't something we give away like candy.

We've been voted a "Best Place to Work" but don't take our word for it -- hear it straight from the nerds who work here.

Over the past few months I've been on a journey through the world of online social monitoring tools. The task was one I'd taken on before (about 18 months ago), and it's enough to make anyone's head spin. So, what is the best monitoring tool out there?

This is the long-delayed fourth (and final) installment in our series on Interactive testing. Read previous installments here: Part 1, Forms & Data Collection, Part 2, SEO, and Part 3, Security.
