For those following Markzware on Twitter.com, which has been growing quickly, there is a cool widget or badge you can embed in your blogs and on your web sites called Twittercounter.

Earlier today we conducted a very interesting interview with a designer, which we will post tomorrow or in any event soon. He swore by FlightCheck throughout the graphic design process and always delivers to the printers an Enfocus Certified PDF- using some of the Enfocus kit to produce standards based PDFs which his customers (record labels) require… more on that story later, but it fits in with this news below nicely… (And a few simple questions for YOU at the end!)
