    Will Your Website Be Relevant in 2011? 

    At New York’s Internet Week panel on “The Impact of Social Media on Culture and the Economy,” an interesting question was raised: “Are websites going to matter in a couple years?”

    With Facebook and Twitter quickly becoming web user’s dish of choice, it makes you wonder if rapid-character-limited-dialogue will replace niche sites like mobile phones did landlines.

    The panelist, including moderator Rick Sanchez from CNN, responded with answers for worried website owners. Here are their thoughts (with my two cents added):

    • Benjamin Palmer (Co-Founder & CEO, The Barbarian Group): “If [your website] doesn’t connect to other websites, the answer is no.” My Two Cents: Facebook Connect.
    • Rick Sanchez (CNN anchor): “If your website is an island you need to socialize more. You have to be apart of the conversation.” My Two Cents: Go to other sites and join their conversations — and this doesn’t mean only leaving comments to tell people to go to your site. That’s called spam.
    • Chris Cunningham (CEO & Founder, appssavvy): “The spirit of transparency and honesty is much more interesting than being talked at.” My Two Cents: What makes you an expert? Share your personal experiences on your site to make people give a damn about what you’re preaching about. After that, go twitter about it!

      Gratitude used for the wonderful in order limited at this juncture in your blog, this is a minor quiz in support of your blog viewers. Who said the next quotation? . . . .A activist stance may not explain every one of your problems, but it will infuriate sufficient people to compose it worth the effort.

    Will Developers or Journalists Save the Media Industry? 

    Back in January New York Magazine did a feature on New York Times’ developers-slash-journalists or journalists-slash-developers (see: http://bit.ly/PN5zN). Fast forward, Northwestern University’s journalism school is offering free scholarships to software developers so they can hone their journalism skills. Check it out: http://bit.ly/UFMOF

    With media fast tracking from print to digital, maybe journalists should seriously consider getting their technology weight up. Print journalists, are you ready for the digital world?
