What\u2019s different<\/h4>\n

We\u2019ve always held the view that different social networks need different content, and our Google+ stream is no exception. We avoid posting identical messages to the same social networks, and we don\u2019t automate our tweets or status updates. If you follow us on Twitter and\/or Facebook you\u2019ll know that we very rarely post sales messages \u2013 and there will be even fewer on our Google+ page.<\/p>\n

We believe that social networks are there to provide value for you, not us, and as such our Google+ page will be tailored specifically to designers, developers, resellers and other web creatives. You\u2019re welcome to hang out with us whether you can write PHP with your eyes closed or just appreciate beautiful design.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d love you to contribute to our Google+ page, whether you\u2019re offering advice, posting a resource or simply asking a question; we want to make it a beneficial community to everyone. Feel free to get people\u2019s opinions on your designs, upload your own resources for other people to download, share interesting tools and talk business. It\u2019s over to you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Win a VPS!<\/h4>\n

We\u2019ll be running plenty of contests and partnering with some very talented people and companies to bring you exclusive discounts and giveaways, so add us to your circles<\/a> to avoid missing out.<\/p>\n

To kick off, we\u2019re giving away a shiny new Heart Internet Linux Base VPS for a year! With a 50GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, cPanel and unlimited bandwidth, it\u2019s a great way to try out our latest powerful hosting product. If you\u2019re looking for higher specs, feel free to upgrade it via your control panel and only pay the difference. Find out more on our VPS hosting<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

To enter:<\/h4>\n

1. Post the URL of a resource on this Google+ status<\/a> with a sentence about why you like it or a bit of background about what it is.<\/p>\n

2. Email us at marketing[at]heartinternet.uk<\/b> with the link to your comment by 14th April<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The resource can be social media icons, a jQuery tutorial, design inspiration or anything you like \u2013 it doesn\u2019t have to be of your own creation, although submitting your own work or website is fine! Even if you don\u2019t want to participate, it\u2019s worth taking a look at the fantastic stuff being submitted.<\/p>\n

Please note that there is a limit of one entry per account, and the<\/p>\n
