Greetings WOW Members and Web Professionals everywhere!
Bill Cullifer here with the World Organization of Webmasters (WOW) and the WOW Technology Minute. The focus for the month of February is Web 2.0 here at the WOW organization and I?’ve been scanning the globe in search of a better understanding and appreciation for this topic.
To that end, I?’ve scheduled a dozen or so terrific interviews with some of the most respect names in the industry. I?’ve also signed up as a media sponsor for an upcoming Web 2 event in San Francisco this April.
What these means is that I?’ll be in the crows nest for you the listeners and viewers of this podcast and will report on the goings on via this podcast. It also means that I?’ll have a few passes to raffle off. Be sure to stay tuned for more.
In the meantime, I?’d like to provide you with a high level of what the conference is all about and will provide you with a link and a code for a discounted rate if you?’d like to participate. For those of you that can?’t make it sit back and relax and let me uncover the real stuff and I?’ll try hard at skipping over the fluff.
