1. Feeling overworked? Try saying "no" to projects every once in awhile. You'll thank us later.
2. A simple "no", for example, could have saved these companies a listing as one of the "20 worst-named tech products, ever". (Hint: English already has plenty of words.)
3. It's also important to say "no" to reality blurring. All those magazine cover models use Fotoshop by Adobé to some degree. The truth will out!
4. And then there are those Facebook friend requests that push the limits of decency.
5. If you do push things a little too far, or even make a simple mistake, an apology is still appropriate. (New for 2012: now with more scientific backing!)
6. Remember back when marketing was simpler? No? Check out these "Vintage Computer Advertisements from the late 1970s".
7. Okay, we've progressed in a lot of ways. Things change, we adapt. We mean, social media is only a few years old, and we're already shifting our strategies.
8. One thing we can say "yes" to, one constant: cats. Cats remain cute, even as HTTP Status messages. (You may recognize one of them as the star of NTEN.org's updated 404 page.)
9. So, after brushing up on the new Google Analytics features, giving the gift of charity, and pickling your website, why not stop by your local animal shelter?
10. We bet you won't be able to say "no".
