Are Traditional Websites Dead?

Perhaps for a small firm like ours where we're not creating a lot of direct content, just linking to others, and our web interaction is heavy into social media....thinking of a whole new splash page design:

http://flavors.me/kpainc

What do you think? Still a work in progress, and it would of course also have a the custom keithparkerinc.com url and provide links to our Twitter page, YouTube Page, Facebook page, new Tumblr Blog, Direct Links to our Manufacturers, and a few other links.

‪Pelco's Sarix and Temperature-Activated ABF‬

Pelco's Kathleen Rhodes simply and effectively describes why Pelco's Sarix Megapixel camera with Automatic Back Focus (ABF) technology is a necessity when deploying megapixel cameras.

Even cameras deployed indoors may require ABF capability when the temperature changes over time in a building during seasonal changes.  We've even heard stories of non-ABF megapixel cameras having trouble in nursing homes or hospitals.
