Hello all. I just wanted to let everyone know that starting in March Dre Barnes, and I, will begin to give seminars and workshops on e-Marketing. If you own a small to mid-sized business, or just want to know what e-marketing is all about, then this is the event for you. We will start with the basics, and hopefully will be able to answer all of your questions about; e-mail marketing, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), social media, web analytics and much more. I will give everyone details and an update on registration (Yes! You must register to attend).

UPDATED: Black People Don’t Read

As you may recall, I recently wrote a post about the observation that black people don’t read and unfortunately, to some degree it’s true. Though I remain optimistic about this observation, and would hope that this will change, I must admit that I didn’t necessarily supply a solution. Well have no fear, a solution is here. A friend of mine sent me a link to a pretty cool website and to be honest, I think it is a great tool to use for someone looking to make reading a more social event. Shelfari.com is a website that allows you to share books that you have enjoyed reading with others, particularly your friends or people within your network. The other cool thing is that it allows you to recommend books to your friends, which brings the traditional “book club” element online. Of course the service allow you to search by author, ISBN, or subject, but you can also search for subject matter in a huge tag cloud which are very useful and creative web 2.0 element. This cloud also allows you to see what other people find interesting and maybe spark you interest enough to see what all the fuss is about. My initial reaction is this service is great and hopefully will be the start of something bigger. Of course this is just my opinion, why don’t you check it out, and come back and tell me what you think.

STUDIO 8

WOW it has been 4 months since my last post. It’s amazing how time goes by… but it makes since I suppose. One of the reasons I decided to post today was because of the latest announcement from macromedia. STUDIO 8 is here. I personally am excited and can’t wait to see what Macromedia has done with the software particularly Dreamweaver. They have already made the software for anyone who can type up a Word document. I can’t wait to see the workflow atmosphere and new features in Flash. I guess we will see. Well I have have some new projects that I am working on and will add them to my portfolio soon.

PEACE
