10 Ways to Grade Your Small Business Website

Almost every small business has a Web site and a high percentage of those sites are mired in Web 1.0 parameters.

Here are 10 ways to grade your business's Web 2.0-ness.

3M Revolutionizes Mobile Displays

Tired of having friends & coworkers huddle around you so you can show them the Van Halen concert you illegally recorded with your cell phone? 3M has developed a compact video projector the size of an "earpiece" able to project a 40 inch or larger video image. This breakthrough ultra-compact projector uses LED technology and is designed to integrate with "virtually any personal electronic device."
I imagine in the near future, just as ipod owners are recognizable today by the ubiquitous white wires running to their ears, you'll be able to instantly spot  3M micro projector owners by the 40 inch or larger projection screens they'll have strapped to their backs.

Here's the press release.

The Business of Blogs from Twin Cities Business Magazine




Here is a very interesting article on blogging and business from Twin Cities Business Magazine.

If you run a small business you may want to consider starting your own blog to raise awareness about what you do.

There are some basic strategies you can use to start your blog. Consider who your audience is and write on subjects that will make them want to read your blog and DreamWorld Studios can help get you started.

Here are some main reasons to start a small business blog.

  1. A blog is an economic way to market your small business and enhance your brand, reputation and sales.
  2. Blogs can provide you with immediate customer feedback. If you receive negative feedback look at it as a way to improve your business.
  3. Blogs are easier and less costly to manage than a Web site for your small business.
  4. Blogs can help attract new customers along with opening up the possibilities for new partnerships.
  5. Blogs can help you and others learn and communicate about what your business does.
