TechBrief:
The HyperMiling.com Story:
Building a Revenue-Generating Web Site
Speaker: Steve Chafe, Entrepreneur
Steve Chafe will show examples of and discuss how concepts learned at Saturday
CPCUG Entrepreneurs and Consultants SIG events, along with concepts gleaned
from a few other sources, helped him build a revenue-generating Web site.
HyperMiling.com obtained a top ranking on Google and got noticed and reported
on by many media outlets.
Speaker: Steve Chafe is a global netpreneur with employees in the United States
and India.
Main Presentation:
A LITTLE PC CLEANING PAYS OFF
Speaker: Gabriel Goldberg, President, Computers and Publishing, Inc.
Audience: All computer users, beginning to advanced. Beginners are invited to
bring their questions, and advanced users are invited to offer their experience
and expertise during discussion and Q&A.
In addition to physically cleaning your PC, a little occasional effort
scrubbing its operating system, hard drive, applications, and data files will
pay off with improved performance, reliability, and system life. Easy cleanup
steps will be described and demonstrated.
Speaker: Gabriel Goldberg is a technology consultant, writer, and editor. He
has written for and edited an IBM technology magazine, contributes to trade and
consumer publications (such as the Jobs and Real Estate sections of _The
Washington Post_), and has reviewed Web sites for several print publications.
After co-hosting AARP's Computers and Technology Web site for several years, he
now writes about technology for several other baby-boomer demographic media.
Gabe was co-editor of and wrote for _The REXX Handbook_, _The VM/ESA Systems
Handbook_, and _The VM/ESA Users and Applications Handbook_, all three books
published by McGraw-Hill. He has also written for newsletters, including those
of Computer Economics, Inc., and the "Editorial Eye" of EEI Communications. In
addition, Gabe has been the author or editor of industry vendor white papers.
Previously, as Vice President of Technology and Business Development for a
small software company, Gabe Goldberg was responsible at various times for
product planning, evolution, and development, along with documentation and
customer support. He also managed and wrote the company newsletter, read by
more than 20,000 subscribers around the world.
