The migration of six bank web sites located in four states around New England commenced with the launch of the Bank of Western Massachusetts  - www.bankwmass.com The new site was built on David Castrucci's Coretomic platform which continues to power more and more finanical sites around the country. All of the sites are integrated along a common platform managed by teams at Shark and Coretomic. The service provides comprehensive support, and if the banks we're smart they would start reviewing add-ons and enhancements that would move the sites towards what David calls "powrful online business centers."

You can visit Leigh's blog at: http://cole.dinse.com Leigh's blog is a first dip of the toe into new media for the law firm which has, over the past two years taken major steps forward with the launch of a new web site, new branding, and an overall more sophisticated approach to its marketing. All with a little help from Shark, of course.

Hat's off to Rachel Carter PR for her work with Shark on the Green Mountain Power account. The company's recent mention in USA Today put it along side some big companies such as Nike, Coca Cola, Dell and more in an article titled "Companies Turn Up The Green."
