I'm really looking forward to our Web Executive Seminar tomorrow morning September 9 at the Press Club called
Web Sites Without Walls: Influential Strategies for Data and Content Syndication .
Nice to see that we got listed in the Washington Post's "
Face Time" event listing today.
What I find exciting about the topic - and the discussion we'll have with representatives from NPR, Washington DC's CTO, and the Sunlight Foundation - is how syndication changes the possibilities for what is an effective web strategy.
It's no longer (just) about building a great web site that provides valuable services and attracting your key audiences to it. It's about getting your content and services distributed widely across the web to wherever your important audiences may be. It's about building tools and services that other web sites can take and use - to their benefit, and yours as well.
NPR even has a
blog where their tech team writes about their various open "API" (application programming interface) work and ideas.
More reflections after the event tomorrow - and there is still room if you want to sign up and join us -
