Subject: Chat reminder for Aug. 23, and schedule for coming months
Date: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 10:04 AM



For Thursdays in July and August, we have been focusing on the needs of
Global Learn Day, testing out online discussion capabilities that they need
for their
upcoming event -- for instance, using PalTalk and telephone. The tests and
the discussion have been useful to those interested in distance education or
the use of
online interaction tools in business.

On Thursday, Aug. 23, Bob Zwick will lead us in a wrap-up summary of the
chat services we have explored. We can review what we have looked at and
discuss
how to use these services in a site that plugs them into an existing
teaching page like Bob's Web Teacher page at
www.cottagemicro.com/webshare/ Bob will  also demonstrate some of the little
add-on features that he is using.

The following week, on Wednesday August 29, at 4 PM at www.horizonlive.com,
I'll do a full-blown presentation (including audio and slides) about
techniques to
help you be found by people using search engines (how to increase your
traffic; major design mistakes to avoid; and workarounds when corporate
branding and
design guidelines prevent you from doing it right). That's a long-time
favorite topic of mine; and this will be an opportunity to see how
HorizonLive works in lecture
mode (slides and voice). I also hope/plan to post an archive of that
presentation at my Web site, as a demo of how those archives work. The day
after, I plan to
hold a regular Thursday chat session on the same topic at my usual chat site
(using SiteScape), so people will have opportunities to ask questions, and
so we'll have
a useful transcript.

September 6 -- TBD
September 13 -- no chat
September 20 -- Impatica with Clifford Layton
September 27 -- TAPPED IN MOO with Keiko Schneider

Please let me know if you have contact names for P2P businesses such as

Also please let me know your suggestions for other guests and topics. I'm
looking for interesting and innovative business models, products, and
services.
