Let’s network!

Hi, good afternoon or morning !

I am back after a short time out here at Naked IT. I was quite busy pushing my latest project (WhatIsThatFile.com) to a certain popularity – and things are rocking again. Remember, you can get a free backlink from that site – just check out the “FAN” section.

But most importantly to say: I have got some grand news for you.

I thought, hey, a blog is fine, and although comments allow sort of a 2 way communication, I wish I could have it more interactive. And that’s what I came up with after a while of work:

http://ebusiness.vipedio.com/

It’s brand new – it’s super hot and it was only made for YOU. Yes, indeed. I had so many great comments by e-mail or directly here and I was really impressed by the quality and quantity or professionals around. I think, we should work together. Right now – you, me and the other 30.000 fellows. I have built that forum to allow you to present your projects, your ideas and ask other professionals on their opinion about advertisement, network channels, technology (ajax, php, whatever!) – just lots of stuff to talk about.

Some of you mentioned some really great projects to me and I had great fun checking them out. But I just can’t post all of them here in my blog as it would most likely turn into a huge link list soon.

That’s why I have created that board. Promote yourself and let others know what you are doing. Keep in mind though that I have an eye on all the posts and will remove those who have a bad ratio for promoting/giving feedback to others.

1…2…3 Network!

The other thing I would like to mention is the golden term: Networking. You might have wondered why some people actually manage to build up a site on Sunday, and have 10.000 visitors by Monday afternoon. It’s not always about getting Digged – and as you might know – being Digged is a rare happening – especially if you try to promote something that’s totally unrelated/uninteresting to those Digg folks. For that reason, I have created a brand new network. You will hear more about that soon, I thought I would make it an invitation only network – but that would be a bit unfair to some new readers here. So, let’s face it, it’s open to join for a couple of days and we are going to close it down after a while to keep the quality up.

Join by sending an e-mail to:

network@mittermayr.com

Please include your name, your profession and – if possible – your latest projects (links).
My incentive is to create a huge network of high potential professionals – including job offers, project of the week, stuff like that. I could write a book about the things we can do and achieve with that.
If you are still unsure why to join – you can ask me in person (or by public comment here) on the benefits or any questions you might have at: software@mittermayr.com

Oh, and keep in mind: I AM NOT GOING TO SELL YOUR ADDRESS, THE LIST WILL NEVER BE GIVEN AWAY TO A 3rd PARTY. YOU WILL NEVER RECEIVE SPAM FROM ME NOR WILL I POST YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IN THE CC OR TO FIELD. I PROMISE TO HANDLE THIS AS 100% CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. THIS IS NO ADSENSE NETWORK.

More details soon. Awaiting your comments and sign-ups.

A nice summary

As pointed out in yesterday’s article, the “WhatIsThisFile.com” domain is away by now. I am not too happy to see someone offering to re-sale it for any interested users. That’s a no no my friend – wrong incentive. But he posted a link to my blog, so I am ok with it. But for everyone else: It seems as you have to make up your own domain idea for that. Still – the idea is hot and ready to grab. Let me know how it is going. I will be happy to assist with any questions.

I see a varity of blogs covering my recent articles. Great to see so much feedback floating around. Most of them quite understood the point of it, so I will probably put together a list of those blogs soon, as some of them have some more interesting info on that 2.0Culture. I am eager to see your point of view, feel free to send me a link.

I have also set myself a new goal. I want the term “2.0Culture” printed in the New York Times or the FT, or, if these don’t work out, Computer Weekly is nice as well. Help us in ”designing” this new brand. 

I think the term is powerful enough to create a brand out of it, finally creating a distinction between “Web 2.0 / Ajax Technology” and the “2.0Culture” – hype itself. So that developers can be developers and hype addicts can be hype addicts, all of them living with their own, specific tag for it. This might have saved the world a billion of weblog comments, where one party attacks the other of misusing the term or so. Quite funny to see that, though. And at least, we got a term to help business angels explain to their fellow investors what their latest project is all about.

I will start to link up some nice track backs here, so let me know if you covered my articles and I will check out your blog – and if you are lucky – I will post a link to it here.

Also, I am still looking for tech-savy co-authors. Furthermore, a (e-)business related author is highly welcome as well. I want to create a number one information source of relevant (!!!) information for start-ups and people who got THE idea and want to convert it to a big bang success. So if you are keen to write an article, let me know.

More up to date 2.0Culture infos soon,
of course, only hot at Naked IT.Yours, Roman.
