New Web 2.0 Presentation
It's all about the API (Application Program Interface), a bit of code that allows one on-line application to talk to another. Combine the right ones and you create something totally new and uniquely powerful. Many of the most popular Web 2.0 technologies feature an API that allows users like you and me to combine them with others to make our very own applications. For example, take a little Google Maps and mash it up with a GPS client, and maybe a little instant messaging and Voila! You have an application that can track delivery drivers, travelers, or even kids on a school trip. You don't have to be a programmer to create a Mashup. Come learn about the best Mashups, how they're made, and how you can make your own.
Location: Indianapolis Junior Achievement 7435 North Keystone Avenue
Indianapolis, IN 46240
Registration time: 8:30-9:00
Presentation: 9:00-11:30

Last week I spoke of a siteless web presence. And what I meant by that comment was that you need to stop thinking of your website as a destination stop and more of aggregator of all your web content. Pretty simple, huh?
But first things first. Your website should be a ...

Here's my two cents about Inc. Mag. And don't get me wrong - I love the mag - but they are always a bit behind the times when it comes to new media and technology. I really miss Business 2.0 - I can't believe they shut it down ...

No!!!!! The last thing you need to do is replace the person who knows your company inside and out and is dedicated to spreading the word about your success.
But you do need to understand that they probably need some love and attention.
For a small business, having a marketer is a ...
