The hardest—and easiest—punctuation marks to use. By Kristin Piombino | Posted: July 10, 2014 Which punctuation mark is the hardest to use correctly?
The ellipsis sounds a little intimidating, and people frequently misuse apostrophes. Perhaps you're thinking it's one of those. It's not. The hardest punctuation mark to use correctly is the comma, an infographic from TheVisualCommunicationGuy.com claims. The infographic ranks each punctuation mark according to how many applications it has, and therefore, how difficult it is to learn. While the comma is the most difficult with 15 applications, the period is the easiest—its only job is to end a sentence (except when it ends an abbreviation: Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.).
Take a look at the graphic to see where the rest of the punctuation marks rank. (View a larger image.) Kristin Piombino is associate editor of Ragan.com.

Storytelling is a powerful approach that can, when done right, compel users to convert more effectively than what any amount of optimization, crazy visual callouts, or awesome interactive elements can do otherwise.
Much like how we expect to see a moral at the end of a book, we expect to find a purpose at the end of a site with a storytelling experience. When the path to the “moral of the story” (or conversion point, to be more specific) is laid out clearly in front of our users’ eyes, the rest of the work lies simply in convincing them that the purpose is really worth grabbing on to… which is great since with storytelling, a user is normally in the mindset of learning more about what the story has to offer.

Projects / JESS3 Labs - Geosocial Universe 3.0. Project: In August 2010, JESS3 took one giant step for geosocial networking with the introduction of The Geosocial Universe infographic, mapping this new world for the first time.
In 2011, the map got updated. In 2013, with changes to the social landscape occurring at lightspeed, JESS3 presented its third iteration of The Geosocial Universe, charting the latest monthly active user data for various social networks, along with the percentage of users who access each network via mobile devices. Methodology: For this JESS3 Labs project, we referenced our past endeavors, but put an even stronger emphasis on mobile user activation in the geosocial universe. We added several networks, including completely mobile apps and a few foreign players. For the first time, we also featured the shuttering of some previous major geosocial networks, rendering their demises as black holes. Another key difference in this version was the inclusion of three snackable graphics along with the full infographic.
