Weekly Web Roundup: Freelance Edition #3
Most of this week’s news was taken over by the announcement of the Palm Pre and the Adobe Browser Lab, which got the web buzzing. The rumour mill for this weeks WWDC is at full speed, with Gizmodo posting some interesting rumours surrounding the iPhone, Snow Leopard and an Apple Tablet. We shall wait and see what’s announced.
Along with the big news there were plenty of other great articles and resources being published over the last week, my favourite of which are summarised below.
I’ve named this the Freelance Edition as the range of links this week generally focuses on freelance related subjects, tips and articles.
- 10 absolute “Nos” for Freelancers
Points every freelancer should have posted on their wall! Includes the ever popular – “this will be great exposure for you, can you do it for free?” - Launch a Business, Not a Side Project
