Not sure about you, but when I create buttons for a web site, I always use shapes, especially if the button has rounded corners. These vector shapes have the advantage that they are easy to scale or resize. Combine them with effects and you have the most flexible button ever. Not sure what I mean? I hope I can share something useful with you here.

Whether they are in school or already working, that 18 to 24-year-old audience is tough to reach, exhibiting the most fragmented of media habits of almost any age group out there. They are always on the go, so finding them to expose them to your brand or product can be difficult. This audience consumes their media when they want it, how they want it, and will choose to ignore advertising if they do not feel the marketer is talking to them in both a relevant way and a relevant environment.
Here are a few great ways to reach that audience:

AppleLurker writes "In a recent interview with DVD newsroom an Apple employee talks WWDC rumors including the iPhone, Blu-ray, MacPro and the Apple Tablet. More realistic about what not to expect next week when Steve Jobs hits the stage." Apple's next move is always a hotbed of debate leading up to a product release and with all the rumors flying this year all bets are off until we see the checkered flag, so take with the requisite grain of salt.

PetManimal writes "Computerworld has a long excerpt from a book by Edmond Woychowsky about how to code Web pages in AJAX. It gives a good explanation of how the technology works, and also has some visuals and code snippets that you can play with. From the article: 'Beyond the XMLHTTP Request object, which has been around for several years as a solution looking for a problem, there is nothing weird needed. Basically, it is how the individual pieces are put together. When they're put together in one way, it is nothing more than a pile of parts; however, when put together in another way, the monster essentially rises from its slab.'"
