The Web 2.0 Component

Part of the contest is adding a Web 2.0 component to your website.  Here are three suggestions.

1. Create a Twitter Account for your client.  Add a Twitter feed to the client’s website and teach them how to update it.  It’s a quick way to post updates without knowing any programming.
2. Create a Facebook Page for your client.  Incorporate the client’s logo and messaging.  Add a “Facebook Connect” button to the main website to encourage visitors to connect.
3. Do a video tour of the business.  Create a youtube account and embed the video tour on the website.  Do this for your client’s existing TV commercials.

One note about video and load times:
Stay away from embedding Windows Media.  With services like YouTube, there is no reason for you to host or stream media from your server.  Upload the video to YouTube and use the embed code to make load times fast and efficient.
