A relatively obvious tip but a tip nonetheless... For those of an independent, freelance or "business polymath" types who undertake a fair amount of productivity online in the world of a wide web I share this..

1) Have a tabbed browser window for each hat - e.g. Have one Safari window for Biz X and one for Biz Y... Within each are multiple tabs but only in relation to that organisation's activities

2) If you're on OS X / Linux then you can extend the above tip and place each window in to it's own desktop / space so that you can be focused on each organisation in turn

Following this tip allows having everything open and accessible for quick switching but eases the pain of info overload

There is a recession. Apparently. 

I say apparently as it seems those in the design / media / PR / web presence sectors (forgive my sweeping catch all but you get the idea of the ilk I'm referring to) seem to not need new business therefore one can only assume they're recession proof.

I come to this conclusion given that over the last six months or so I have probably met, on average, around two experts a week who could've (should've) gone to any of my sites, pointed out their obvious mediocrity and suggested improvements. 

However, zero such suggestions have been made.

Maybe I'm just being dumb but if I was a digital expert and I made a new connection, one of the things at the top of my list would be... CHECK THEIR CURRENT WEB PRESENCE.

If it wasn't up to scratch in my expert opinion then I would be pitching for that connections new business.

But that isn't happening so I can only assume, those in web / design / brand / PR etc just don't need the sales as they're recession proof.
