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
Closing: 11:30-12:00

So here's the secret. You can't.
You knew that was coming, didn't you? But there are ways to push the complaint farther away from your site and out of your search results.
The first thing I would do. Go after that customer, face to face, and see if you ...

How much do you really know about how the food you eat is produced? If you're like most Americans, it'd be safe to assume not too much. This weekend, I had the pleasure of speaking about digital and social media to the Young Farmers of the Indiana Farm Bureau as part of their annual ...

One thing I have come to understand with technology and media is that everything new is nothing new at all; they're just new ways of looking at things. How we communicate and connect today can be traced back to how people have always communicated and connected. Digital and social media ...

"Interconnected Age", Budget, change, marketing, new media, social media, web 2.0 |
With the speed at which digital media and social media are moving, most organizations don't have a digital strategy. Understandably, they don't even have a budget that takes digital and social media into consideration.Because their budgets were created for yesterday, not today, there is a financial disconnect. What I mean ...

In yesterday's Online Spin, there was an article Agencies: Reinvented or Replaced by Joe Marchese.
Joe's jist was that ad agencies need to change - that they aren't prepared for the future of advertising within social media. Here's what he says,
"In the end, social media is nothing more than a ...
