Hi Folks, Just wanted to let you know of an upcoming Web 2.0 Seminar including illustrious Hidden-Techer's on the panel! Web 2.0 Seminar Description: Since the term "Web 2.0" was first coined—generally meant to convey the broad set of web technologies such as social networks, user- generated content portals, and "mash-ups" or web application hybrids— the web has matured beyond our expectations. We’re now beginning to see the broad adoption of platform technologies including Facebook, Twitter, iPhone and Google (Android) phone app systems, Google app platform, and multiple "widget" platforms. For businesses, this shift in the technology space begs important questions about our audience, our markets, and our concept of branding. The panel will discuss the implications of the maturing technology space for businesses and will explore how these changes may impact the way we do business, market our products and services, and define our brands. As a prime case study, we will look at the award- winning marketing campaign of President Barack Obama which used multiple technology platforms to huge strategic advantage. Businesses need to stay aware of these trends always, as such mediums continue to affect transactions both in communication and commerce.
