How to build a community, png optimization and great billboards - Monday July 20th Roundup

today is waaaaaaay too monday
Monday again? Already? Yep, and another roundup. We also started work on our new office, and you can find pictures of the pre-work state of it on our Facebook page.
This week we have tips to build a community, some great png optimization techniques, great billboards, and more html5.
Internet Marketing and SEO
- Less educational, more cute. Grockdotcomdotcomdotcomdotcom has a bunch of great billboard ads. Worthy of note? Great use of copy, and examples of how you can use that same copy in your web marketing.
- Got this one from Twitter this week, a "top 7" list of community building ideas. The difference is that these are actually pretty good. 7 Sensible Strides Toward A Stronger Community
Technology
- Two from Smashingmagazine this week, just 'cuz they were so cool. First: HTML5 and The Future of the Web
- Second, and this one is cool: Clever PNG Optimization Techniques . They get some really great results from simple optimizations.
Web Analytics
- Another Smashingmagazine post? Yes it is! A Guide to Google Analytics and Useful Tools. Unlike our Power User Guide, this is pretty much just a compilation of other peoples posts, but its still a great resource. Make sure to keep it bookmarked.
- Did you know that GA tracked bookmark visits? I didn't. Epikone covers how Google tracks them.
Web Usability
- To return to social networking, SURL has a Usability Evaluation of Three Social Networking Sites.
Miscellaneous links of the week:
- Graphs can be highly functional tools, which is one of the reasons that its so pathetic that theyre usually so bad. Seth Godin goes over a few ways to make graphs work.
- Maybe its a result of the "twitter generation", or a means of playing with minimalism, but Single-Serving Websites [that] Make A Tweet Look Rich In Content are springing up all over the place...
