Here’s what I am interested in. If you’re interested in this stuff too, let’s talk.
I am completely fascinated with open source and free CMS / blog systems. Are there any Joomla/Drupal/Word Press junkies out there? We should form a social club where we drink beer and talk about our favorite add-ons and plugins.
I’d like to start learning about and tapping into the arts community. So much of what we do every day is deeply enhanced by the addition of art, sound and creative design, I feel like we will all be unable to sell products and services without their help in the near future.
Planning for the “unpaged text” phenomenon coming up. How do we prepare businesses for the fact that their content is going to stand on its own on the Web (independent of any Web sites) as a search result or data contained in a 3rd party scraping system.
Hi Marci,
I saw you upcoming Tech Focus talk and thought perhaps we should talk. My business focus is helping businesses and non-profits in the area leverage the power of online video to brand and position themselves. A social networking and integrated marketing strategy is a critical to a successful video campaign. I’m based in Severna Park, and also share a studio in Annapolis with photographer David Hartcorn. I look forward to learning more about your business.

I’m not entirely certain that the future is entirely “unpaged.” Consider the brouhaha over electronic readers like the Kindle and Nook. Especially since Amazon announced the Kindle SDK so developers can have at it like they’ve had at the iPhone.

Hi Eric,
You make an interesting point, that with APIs open and SDKs available, the technology that we all think we’re launching becomes something else entirely, and quite quickly.
The iPhone is a different beast today than when it launched, and I find the applications added to the phone make it more useful than the original device itself.
The future of “unpaged” text I was referring to was more about Web pages, where marketers develop a page of text as a discrete entity that should be read in total. The unpaged text phenomenon is where individual words are grabbed by engines and applications and delivered outside of the page’s textual context.
What do you think about the idea of one line of text representing your whole company within a database of other companies?
