Alan, our new programmer asked me to explain the history behind our name “Ancient Wisdom Productions”. The following illustration is what happened on the piece of paper in front of me as I talked. I think it basically explains it all! Hope I’m not giving away any company secrets here!

So yeah, the AWP blog has been a bit quiet lately, but only because we’ve been very busy working on some awesome new client websites and logos, and a brand new dedicated site to represent our wildly popular AWP Express service.
Speaking of Express, we’re on the hunt for web-savvy sales professionals to represent AWP while working with clients through our Express development process. Design or coding experience is not required, although a familiarity with web design in general is necessary.

Just for fun, here are some of the things we’re talking about this week (follow us on twitter to keep up with the latest). Every link is amazing, so you won’t be disappointed!
Hey! We talk about interesting things. At least we think so. Here’s quick summary of what we’re talking about around the studio. Tell us what we missed!
Okay. So by now you’ve heard all the buzz about the big #twittersecret (read: “Twitter’s Secret” for you non tweeting types), and you’re wondering what’s going on. What is this big secret that everyone is clamoring to know? I’m afraid you’ll be a little let down if you’re not a die-hard twitter fan. So I’ll let you down gently…
Twitter’s big secret involves Direct Message (DM) tweeting, which is sending a tweet directly to another tweeter without posting to the entire tweeting public. Apparently, when DMing you’re allowed 115 extra characters to tweet with… that’s a full 255 characters for DM tweeting. Wow.
This is big news to the tweeter community who are used to the regular 140 character limit on tweets. Here’s the message (sent as a DM in twitter) that reveals the secret:
“So here’s the secret: A couple of days ago @davidson & @lebrun discovered that DM’s don’t have to be just 140 characters. That’s right | this is where it should have ended but it didn’t did it? No actually you can send up to 255 characters.” (source)
This is likely to be because the cell phone text message (SMS) limit is also 255 characters, and many people have twitter set up to send text messages to their cell phones. Why not offer people the extra 115 characters?
So who started this #twittersecret anyways? Was it a marketing attempt by an entrepreneurial tweeter? Did they know that you would be so intrigued that you would click a TinyURL link in hopes of uncovering it?
Well, now that you’re here be sure to check out the rest of our website! And now you know the secret.
