”Both PC and Mac”

And England, where they call hot ladies Birds instead of Chicks.”
WWDC:
If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
Quirky Bird:
”If you build it, they don't just come. You have to be ready and willing to be a sponge and take all of the tools out there, from SEO to web marketing, and bend them to your will.”
