Atricle Dump - Why Web 2.0 is a Big Deal
Part seven of a series on Turnaround TacticsOnce you get your streamlined sales force up to speed, it's going to need more people to talk to.You already have a lead generation program in place. But is it working? Is it sufficient? Probably not, otherwise you wouldn't be reading an article called "turnaround tactics." So you have to stoke the lead machine.Step one is to decide what a lead is worth to you, so you can know what to spend on getting one. Do you know the lifetime value of your typical customer? Do this calculating for revenue and profit: add the initial sale plus all subsequent add upsells, resells, back-end products, over the entire life of your customer. Average this across your customer base, and voila - lifetime customer value. Your fist sale may be $50,000, but with servic

Job changes are not always pleasant phases for everyone. Many employees who have been forced to change their jobs for some reason or the other have failed miserably to manage this phase in their lives, and ended up in bad scenarios.

Finally, we will see the steps one needs to take to safeguard his/her career and avoid trauma.Reasons For AnxietyA first job change for people in their late 20s and early 30s is a big challenge.

From the time the internet started it has been touted as the one of the greatest inventions of all times. What started off as a network of machines has grown into a phenomenon and continues to do so at the “speed of thought”.
The web which started off serving customers with purely static pages has been continuously moving to a more dynamic and interactive environment. The recent transition has been in moving from a website owner driven web to a user driven one. More and more power is being given to the user to drive things the way he/she wants on the web.
The current wave which we are witnessing – although not intentional has been aptly called Web 2.0.
Web 2.0 is the name given to the array of new age websites which are popping up that are more focussed on bringing people together to one place and allowing them to them to share, discuss, post, vote, form communities etc. – basically be able to express themselves on the web like they have never been able to do so before.
If you have to go by definitions, Wikipedia – one of the leading new age Web 2.0 site defines the term Web 2.0 as:
“Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media in 2004, refers to a supposed second-generation of Internet-based services — such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies — that let people collaborate and share information online in previously unavailable ways. O'Reilly Media, in collaboration with MediaLive International, used the phrase as a title for a series of conferences and since then it has become a popular (though ill-defined and often criticized) buzzword amongst certain technical and marketing communities.”

Here are a few ideas on gifts to recognize the administrative professional at your company:Flowers - flowers are always appreciated, and this holiday is a great time to get a good deal on a floral arrangement.

Working together for maximum benefit should always be part of a plan. When working together the ideal situation is to have a fifty-fifty split in the work. This is actually not a good idea; you should have one person take the lead on each project that you are working on. That way there is a person that is "in charge" and the final decisions can be made. My sense of fairness wants the fifty-fifty but through experience I recognize that someone has to take the helm to make the project work. When working together each of you will have your strengths and hopefully they are not the same strengths. A really good working relationship has people with complimentary strengths and the weaknesses are no longer a problem.The gaps that may exist when you work on your own are covered by having a good working relations

Positive publicity about your product, service or business can mean the difference between success and failure. It can also mean the difference between modest success and outrageous success. Publicity will increase your name recognition, give you credibility, serve as a platform for you to educate your target market, and help you leap ahead of your competition.So, you know what’s the real shame about publicity?That most of the people who achieve it don’t make the most of it.Publicity is hard earned. So when it does come, you need – to put it bluntly – to milk it for all it’s worth.If you score a feature article in the local paper or even an expert quote in a major national daily and you rely solely on who happens to read that article – no matter how impressive the circulation num
Well, then again Web 2.0 might mean different things to different people. Most of the dedicated techies can be heard saying – a plain social networking site alone is not good enough, it has to support AJAX as well for it to qualify to be a Web 2.0 site. Although AJAX was a starting point of the newer web sites, I think the “social networking and collaboration” bit is the key differentiator.
Although O’Reilly coined the term “Web 2.0”, the intention was not to suggest a newer version of the web instead this term was formed to be a part of the core attractive punch-line to be used in of one of the conferences they were going to organize about the web.
Let’s talk about some of the Web 2.0 sites that’s changing the way we use the web right now. This would ideally give a better understanding of what’s being done on the web in the Web2.0 paradigm.

1. Wikipedia.com – Wikipedia is a web based encyclopedia which is free. Well the surprising part is not that it is free. It can be edited by anyone not necessarily a registered user, which means absolutely anyone. Please try it.
This really epitomizes the beauty of the web. With multiple users editing this site all the time, it only makes us wonder how on earth does this site provide accurate information. Its just like life, the good over evil theory. Works on the web too. There are the good people working tirelessly towards making sure content on Wikipedia is latest and accurate. So even if you enter the wrong data, in some time or worst case in a couple of days you will see the information corrected. The magic of user driven content.
The concept of wikipedia has become so popular that the term ‘wiki’ is now used to refer to any website the visitors can edit the content of the sit
