Would you believe another year has gone by? That can only mean one thing. There is just 1 week left and that week is Ketchup Week. One of the most important weeks of the year because you can finally “catch up” on everything you’ve been meaning to do.

This year, we redesigned the Ketchup Week web site, integrated with Twitter and are promoting through various social media sites. Join Ketchup Week if you’re into getting things done this week.

Seasoned Greetings from Tornado Design!

We recently redesigned the Innergy Power web site here at Tornado. We didn’t do the underlying code, but we did the site design.

It has been awhile since we updated you on our progress with our web application. We’ve had a number of setbacks. Hired developers only to have them leave, and more. For the last several months we’ve really gotten on a roll with development. We’ve taken it upon ourselves to develop the product forgoing any outside developers who come knocking.

Our product has had a few names during our development process. Picking a name for a product is incredibly tricky. Not only do you need to come up with a good name that everyone likes, but you have to find the domain name.

Previously, the product was called Roundup, and before that Windstorm.

Now, we’ve come up with a name we’re happy with. It’s Minuteglass. It’s like “hourglass” but for minutes. Get it? We like it and we’re working on logos and also working on the product. The product is coming together faster and we’re excited to release it. At this time we don’t have an ETA. Stay tuned!

I’ll be speaking at Refresh Phoenix in September and giving a talk called Marketing for Web Apps.

What’s it about? It’s a review of marketing efforts that have worked for other web app companies mixed with marketing topics and ideas geared especially for people who need to spread the word about their web application, software, or web site.

It includes marketing insights which I have personally received from the founders of Campaign Monitor, Brightkite, Dogster, Geni, JumpBox, Viddler, Tumblr, JotForm, Harvest, SmugMug, Ma.gnolia, Beanstalk, Wufoo and Cashboard. Not to be missed!

If you live in Phoenix, be sure to come!
