IT for small businesses

It’s that time again!  We are giving another workshop at the DC chapter of SBA/Score.  If you plan on attending, save some dough and sign up now; it’s $10 more at the door.  We will cover the full gamut of IT essentials for small businesses and startups.  I mean all of it: from website design to green business practices.

Speaking of green, we’ve uploaded our slides this time, rather than print them out (SBA only has single-sided printers).  So check them out and send us questions in advance.  Or comment here.

Here are some thoughts from the last one we did, back cold, cold February.

In the last two years, Washington DC has taken center stage regarding technology adoption across institutions at both local and national levels.   Seems barely a few years ago that tech hackers never really saw much value in hanging out with PR and marketing people.  We had to be forced to go network like it was a chore and play nice with everyone we met.  Now-a-days, it seems like we’re all tripping over each other to exchange business cards, write on each others blogs and trying to score tickets the latest tech conferences.  Why is that?

Lots of reasons.  GenXers are now in positions of influence and arguably more willing to adopt new technologies.  We have a new and more open administration in the White House that is mandating more transparency.  And we have a bad economy that once again is attracting big business to Washington DC area.

..oh and one more… we also have… Twitter. Read the rest of this entry »

non-sequitur? I think not

Word Association Time, kids:

Georgia? Peanuts.  Peanuts? Salmonella.  Salmonella?  Widget!

“Widget?!“, you say? 

Yes. Widget, I say. And I admit when I first saw it, I also thought that was an old pairing of words.  I mean, it’s Widget!  It hangs out with the hip crowd: social media, facebook, macs. iPhones, for crying out loud!  iPhones have widgets. “Widget” certainly does Not hang out with them FDA types.  But, like all us mere mortals have to pay taxes, so are mere technologies appropriated by all facets of government, and to the left you see a barely breathing example of the FDA Salmonella Widget.

Where do I get mine, you ask?  Well, mosey on over to the FDA.  Bring three forms of ID, a birth certificate, three passport-style photos…

Facebook, about two weeks ago, updated its terms of use.  The Force did not like that. Here is one excerpt:

Sure, you can choose not to use Facebook at all, but that doesn’t mean a thing. Someone can still take your photo, slap it on Facebook, and now neither you nor the author of the photo can stop Facebook from using the photo in whichever way they please

[ http://mashable.com/2009/02/16/facebook-tos-privacy/ ]

Well, fear no more, masses.  Facebook this morning informed me (and presumably you, too) that “Because of this response, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use”.  

Go ahead.  Pat yourselves on the back.  You deserve it.
