Most people spend a lot of time on the computer today, whether they’re emailing, writing a report, or tweeting. No matter what we’re doing, we’re likely resting our hands on the keyboard, waiting to type the next sentence or respond to a post on a social media site. So this month, we offer you some “just for fun” facts about writing and typing:

• The average person’s left hand does 56% of the typing.
• No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.
• “Dreamt” is the only English word that ends in the letters “mt.”
• The sentence: ”The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” uses every letter of the alphabet. So does, “The five boxing wizards jump quickly.” Sentences that use all 26 letters are called panagrams.
• The words “racecar”, “kayak”, and “level” are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left; they’re palindromes.
• There are only four words in the English language which end in “-dous:”  “tremendous,” “horrendous”, “stupendous”, and “hazardous”.
• There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order:  “abstemious” and “facetious”.
• TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.

Have an interesting palindrome, panagram, or fun fact? We’d love to hear it-leave us a comment!

Holdcom is pleased to acknowledge the innovative use of internet audio services for a revamped website required by Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey, designed by web developer Roj Prasad, of Web Epoch.  Although web audio is not a new application, Roj’s integration of professional voice recordings within RMANJ’s redesigned website affirms their importance and value to website functionality.

Roj began his venture as a web developer in 1996 and traveled throughout the ever-changing world of the Internet, thanks to his vast multimedia background.

When speaking with Roj, I was curious to know what separated his web development services from the competition and the “do-it-yourself” clients.  “The web-developed pages, which I design, motivate interactive design,” explains Roj.  He utilizes advanced DHTML that Google searches “see”, which enhances SEO results.  These interactive designs rival “Big Banner”, which many companies’ sites showcase.

Businesses want their brands, products, and services to get noticed on the Internet…it’s not enough to simply have a web page.  A company needs a site that can be recognized sooner, rather than later, when browsers log on to search.

When Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey approached Roj to enhance their website, they were currently working with an inexperienced vendor.  But after one month of working with Roj, RMANJ excitedly told him, “You’ve done more for us in 30 days than the other vendor did in five months… and we want you to do more.”

Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey has helped thousands of individuals and couples realize their dream of having a baby. They offer the full range of fertility treatments, from the simplest interventions to advanced options, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other more specialized forms of assisted reproductive technology.  RMA of New Jersey has helped both men and women with challenging and complex fertility problems.

Roj based his visual design of the site on the scientific aspect of RMANJ’s facility – using the double helix structure of RNA and DNA strands as visuals.

So here is this state-of-the-art reproductive facility that’s enhancing their website with the aid of a highly creative web developer.  What role does Holdcom play in all this?  Well, Holdcom has provided Message On Hold services for RMANJ for the past nine years, and Roj recognizes the importance of audio on the web site.  “Audio holds attention when users may not want to read,” describes Roj.  “It helps users retain more…especially when the website is coupled with visuals.”

Roj was also aware of the benefits that a professional voice talent and studio-quality recording would provide RMANJ’s web site.  “A good commanding voiceover grabs users’ attention,” states Roj.  “The voice gives another dimension to the experience.”

Holdcom is very appreciative to Roj and Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey for the opportunity to provide a useful service and enhance a quality presentation.
