I’ve been looking up some stats today, and I have to say:

Amazing what 30 days of itchy faces, repulsed spouses and frightened old ladies can accomplish. Good work Canada!

At Top Draw, our development process involves moving the site to a few locations. Some of us start on a local server, then move it to a staging location and then deploy it to a production server.

So, why Google+ for your business? For now, it simply makes sense to create a page so that your business is up there and no one else is squatting on your name.
