Web 2.0

If you are curious to find out what Web 2.0 actually means then this video is a good place to start. The fuzziness disappears when the video is played.

As the video mentions Web 2.0 is about linking people.  The online social networks and communities are quite possibly the most exciting development of internet technologies. See ning for just one example. 

My thanks go to Justin Dean for pointing the video out to me.  Justin found me via the Terapad post below. Interestingly, I then found Justin via the community link on the right hand bar of this blog. Thanks Justin.

Hi Philip,
It's a pretty neat video isn't it? I actually work at Terapad so I was popping by to see what you had written, and it's me that ought to be thanking you! Terapad relies on word of mouth to promote our system and you are right, it is ideal for smaller businesses. In fact most of what you see has been written purely based on feedback from small businesses.

We try to take all the latest Web 2.0 technology and package it in an affordable way for small business. We hope that the small guys can now compete on equal terms with the faceless giants! Your readers would be interested to hear about the built in SEO for example ... its worth a test, set up a site on Terapad, add in your Keywords, and content, and the engine does the rest. See how long it takes to appear on Google :-)

Of course, being a small business ourselves it is actually very interesting for me to have found your blog, and all the useful information it contains! I've added you to my RSS.

Have you ever thought about moving it to Terapad ? ;-)
ATB,
Justin

Hi Jason

Not sure I've quite got the energy to move platforms just yet, but I am working on Terapad for a local church where my twins go to play school. The Pastor is going to be the perfect person to engage with his online community. All he needs is s system that is simple for him and his community to use. Terapad is perfect.

Keep up the good work and if you can give us some more generic business website graphic templates that would be appreciated. They are so much easier to tailor to change the website look.

Another thought. What about giving links to graphic designers and copyrighters? This would help small businesses get the special look and assist with the all important content.

Good advice. There are lots more templates on their way, as quick as we can produce them ... Any suggestions are always appreciated but there will definitely be some business / finance / legal templates amongst them.

Watch out for the resellers / developers network pages. We want to make it extra easy and profitable for small graphic design companies, or even copywriters to customise or create their own CSS templates. Coming soon - well as soon as we can sort it out :-)

If you have any questions / suggestions don't hesitate to contact us. You have my email or our support team are at support@terapad.com
