Web 2.0 is focused on user participation, so how can you promote interaction on your site?

As designers and product people, our focus is on developing wonderful user experiences where people can come together to participate in meaningful and useful ways. With social sites, this is doubly critical as our sites are fundamentally powered by users interacting with one another.

This workshop will focus on design strategies for lowering the barriers to participation, adapting to user behavior, promoting positive behaviors, managing scale, and creating intuitive user experiences.

Being a great designer or developer is only half the battle. You also need to be able to promote and sell your services, unfortunately there is little advice online about how to do this effectively.
The first part of this workshop will examine ways to promote your services, discuss effective approaches when responding to client briefs and improve your presentational skills for that crucial pitch.

Why Green AND Software?:
A January Fast Company article deemed the Sustainability Systems Developer one of the Ten Best Green Jobs for the next decade.
The article states: "The green economy needs a cadre of specialized software developers and engineers who design, build, and maintain the networks of sensors and stochastic modeling that underpin wind farms, smart energy grids, congestion pricing and other systems substituting intelligence for natural resources. Coders with experience using large scale enterprise resource planning have an edge here, as well as developers familiar with open source and web 2.0 applications."
Software examples include:
1. IBM - sensors & software to manage H2O
2. Lil Green Patch FB App saved 96,124,167 Sq ft of Rainforest so far
3. Go Green Mobile Carbon Tracking
4. Bon Appetit Management Co's Low Carbon Diet Website
5. Clear Standards Carbon Accounting Software
6. Numerous Green Blogs/Websites/Social Media/Virtual Communities
