Board meeting....

Cindy asked a great question about user friendlyness as far as Web 2.0 tech goes...

this is pretty simple as she can tell ha ha ha...

tapping into the bravery...

tapping into the bravery that exists within each one of us is the general underlying topic of a discussion i'm having with a committee that represents the economic development and tourism interests for an Alberta community today...

i'm proposing a project that will encourage an entire community to tap into their bravery and belief in themselves to promote their region while learning and using new strategies. i know they can do it, i've talked with locals and the energy is there and i dare say the bravery...

if it didn't require some bravery it wouldn't be worth doing.

changing behavior can be a challenge with one person, never mind an entire community...my team and i are most definitely up for that challenge...this is going to be exciting, it's what someone like me dreams about...have an idea, create a strategy, implement it and change lives for the better...

this project will impact this community for years and years to come, we're going to create an entire tech sector locally where one didn't exist before (in a manner of speaking).

the key to my idea is in finding the right community...so far it looks like we're heading in the right direction, time will tell...finding the second community will be much easier.

marketers and twitter...

twitter is something to watch as gen-y connects for up to the second life updates on twitter...things like...i'm blogging right now, i'm drinking coffee, i'm answering my other phone...

as silly as this seems, not to mention time consuming as they pound very small qwerty keyboards...the twitter phenomenon is growing. here's an imedia article as to how marketers may use this technology in the future with the uber connected gen-y and other technology hounds...

this technology has even penetrated the political realm. Barack Obama
and John Edwards

people who want the most recent information are going to have a field day with twitter...
