Written by Jason Keeling on April 2, 2008
Maple Creative’s Skip Lineberg and I will present “Business for Breakfast” at the Charleston Marriott’s Whitewater Grille, on April 25, from 7:30-8:30 a.m. The focus will be Web 2.0: Blogs, Pods and Twitters — How Emerging Internet Technologies Can Enhance Business Communications. We’ll consider the growing importance of blogs, podcasts, and social media sites like Facebook/Twitter, and discuss the significance of these technologies to West Virginia businesses and organizations.

What a great opportunity to learn about the new Web 2.0 world and how it relates to our business economy in WV. I will definitely try to be there and look forward to it!

What’s great is that, here in West Virginia, you have companies getting into Internet marketing and Web 2.0 development strategies. It’s a cutting-edge industry, and West Virginians are involved in the kind of innovation that’s being seen in Silicon Valley. Very cool.
(And I plan to be there, too.)

Well, that’s delightful, but unless SOMEONE convinces providers to make broadband more widely available in WV (apart from satellite providers, which are expensive and not particularly useful for uploading to the web…) it’s going to be impossible to be fully competitve all across WV.
Broadband is NOT available from anyone where I live (at the edge of Kanawha and Clay counties.) Verizon is making huge investments into FIOS in other states (partly using the WV profits we make for them) but FIOS is not ANYWHERE In WV?
Yet you want me to live here, help build your tax base with my business?
If the “movers and shakers” cannot and will not band together to make this happen then maybe us “little people” can organize and do so.
Web 2.0 indeed. I’d be thrilled to death to be able to access web .0.1 on anything besides dial up! and I RUN an internet based business but let me tell you: if it weren’t for the fact that I LOVE this state and have major ties here, I’d be building my business someplace else.
this is a no-brainer, folks. we need broadband. three years ago.
