Welcome to the Ideas @ Rackspace Cloud site! We would love to hear from you, so please submit your ideas and suggestions below!
E-mail server logs
In RS email hosting service add an area for admin to access mail server logs. Often our customers ask us to check why an email was not received or was not delivered , and we need a quick way to answer this questions (faster than opening a ticket and describing the problem).114 votes
Rename mailbox
Need a way to rename the username associated with a mailbox. Currently if someone were to say get married and change their last name there is no way for the username to be changed. The only thing that could be done is create a new mailbox with the new username and then import the emails from the other account. Really not a easy and user friendly solution. I know an alias can work for at least receiving email but that doesn't help with the username used to login to the mailbox.
Would be nice if we could make the change with the Control Panel but at the very least we should be able to open a ticket and have someone at Rackspace Support be able to make this change.

Thank you for this suggestion. The ability to rename a mailbox is indeed a highly requested feature, and we are aware of why it is valuable. You can be sure that we are thinking about the best way to introduce this functionality.
In the meantime, as one commenter pointed out, a solution is to create the new mailbox with the name that you want and then perform a migration from the existing mailbox to the new mailbox.
You can then either set up forwarding for the old mailbox to the new one, or delete it, and create an alias by the same name that points to the new mailbox. This way, anyone sending mail to the old mailbox will still have their mail delivered.
For details on how to do this, please visit our support site at http://www.rackspace.com/apps/support/ and search for "Migrations".
Improve the spam handling system
We have a hybrid RSEmail and Exchange system at Rackspace. The spam management is different between the two (no Quarantine Manager for RSEmail) and very poor in general (cannot force delivery of spam, cannot flag spam as ham, etc etc). We'll have to get another external layer (Postini?) as this is a big problem - but we'd love to have this integrated!79 votes
Domain aliases
Please add the ability for direct customers to manage their domain aliases through the control panel instead of creating tickets every time they need to add/remove them.63 votes
Thank you for the suggestion. This is a great idea, and I will have this added to our roadmap.
Unfortunately, there are some dependencies ahead of this feature that push its release out until past Q2 of 2013.
Enforce user to change thier password when they first time login
I hope there has one feature that could enforce user to change their password when they first time login like window domain. This is helpful to protect user's password and increase company security level.61 votes
Domain wide or user level Email Archiving
Email archiving (not bcc) is available at domain level only. It is mostly unnecessary to to archive every email account under a domain. So it should let us enable it only for the email accounts we need.53 votesunder review · Tom responded
We are currently evaluating this as well as other ideas. This particular instance would require some infrastructure tweaks – some of which are already underway. This is only in the research phase so I unfortunately do not have a definitive answer for you at this moment. Thanks for the idea Faruk – I hope all is well.

Update the Email Hosting Documentation
I was looking for Outlook 2010 setup documents to send to a client and couldn't find them. However a tech support representative told me about this page: http://www.rackspace.com/apps/support/portal/941 . It seems like anytime you update the portal page, you should re-render new PDFs since it's the same information. PDFs are convenient to send along to a client via email. It'd be great if they reflected the latest and greatest documentation.46 votesplanned · AdminKatherine Reed (Admin, Rackspace) responded
I am currently working to update the documentation in the control panel.
Make Standard Rackspace Email Interface Iphone/Ipad Compatible. EASY!
When using the standard webmail interface from an ipad the wysiwyg editor breaks the "Compose" and "Reply" features (2 very important features). It would be great if the Javascript would detect mobile devices and show a regular textarea instead of the wysiwyg. I realize the interface is not meant to be 100% mobile device compatible, but this would at least make it usable. I would direct users to the official mobile version, but it does not support HTML emails so it is not useful at all.44 votes
Create a way to see what distribtion lists a user is a member of. Having to check each distribution list for users is a waste of time.
There should be a way to check what distribution list each user is a member of. Currently you have to check every distribution list to see if they are on it. Managing over 100 lists with over 200 users this way is a waste of precious time.44 votes
Email Alerts for System Errors
Whenever there is an issue with email that affects our customers, sometimes only one customer will let us know, sometimes many - and we kind of have to investigate on a case-by-case basis.
Why don't admins get email alerts when a technology is down that may affect us? Like, instead of going to the status page to see if something is down - when that page is affected, it would be nice if sending an email were part of the process.40 votes
Add ability to change number of mailboxes
Add the ability to change the number of billable mailboxes through the control panel to accommodate companies who's mailbox counts vary from month to month. Currently, mailboxes can be added, but not removed via the interface. Removal requires a contact with tech support.37 votes
Dynamic Signatures
Allow dynamic signatures on your disclaimer section that allows contact info injection (i.e %DISPLAY NAME% %Telephone%)37 votes
Allow to set starting and ending dates on auto-reply in the Control Panel
When a user logs into their Rackspace account, they can go into Settings - Incoming Email and set up an auto-reply message for a specific time frame. As the Admin, many users ask me to set this up for them. It would be helpful if I can set up the time frame for the auto-reply in the Control Panel - Mailbox Details, so I don't have to log into the user's account.33 votes
when an email account is deleted, it would be nice if it would automatically delete the name out of groups it is associated to.
I would like to be able to create an email account and within that account be able to add to a group list or multiple group lists, instead of having to go to each group to add the person.30 votes
Admins can download an archive of a mailbox before they delete it
Provide a means for admins to download an archive of a user's mailbox before it is deleted. The archive should be something simple and generic like a .zip of the mail in mbox format.27 votes

Export list of mailboxes and/or domain admins
We would like to be able to export a list of all email addresses for all domains. Also the same for domain admins. This way we could better communicate with our clients. Having view/export to csv would be great.
Even better would be a function built into the CP that would do a mass mail to all users in domain or all users in our account.16 votesAdminKatherine Reed (Admin, Rackspace) responded
Hi Paul,
There are reports available in the control panel that allow you to export a list of mailboxes for a domain or a list of domains. They are under the Reports section.
You can also email all users on your domain at once by using the Email Everyone features under the Domains Section.
More control over email rules
I would like to see a component for setting up custom rules for individual mailboxes. The main reason behind this is so I can easily setup an auto-responder that will reply only when an email is to the one person with it enabled, and not when an email is sent to an alias they are a member of. I can provide more details if they are needed.15 votes
Provide email traffic statistics (inbound, outbound, spam...) per domain and per address
Rackspace Email CP could provide detailed statistics about email traffic over certain timeframe. The reports could include the amount of inbound messages, outbound messages and messages flagged as spam, per domain, per mailbox and per email address (aliases).14 votes
Default Settings for adding new domains
I love the amount of settings with the reseller Email apps control panel. I do not however like remembering all of them that I like and want to set for each new domain I add.
For instance, the storage notification, is off by default, I would want that on, and have it email the user and cc me when they are reaching their quota.
So I would really like if I could set what I would want the defaults to be for each new account for all settings, so that when I add a new domain, I know the settings are going to be how I like it, then if I need to modify the settings on a per domain basis I can.
I am in the process of migrating about 300 domains to the service, so you can see why this would be useful. I also think it would be useful for when there are long stretches in between adding domains, you would not have to worry about remembering every little detail about your preferred settings. It would save time, avoid frustration and provide peace of mind.

The requirements for the Personal Financial Specialist (PFS) credential are established by the PFP Division staff at the AICPA, the National Accreditation Commission, along with the PFS Credential Committee, and accurately reflect the depth and breadth of experience and technical expertise required to obtain this credential.
For more information:
The 5 major requirements are:
The CPA license establishes the ethical and professional foundation for the CPA/PFS credential. No other comprehensive financial planning credential requires this level of professionalism as their foundation. Every CPA/PFS credential holder has successfully completed the rigorous CPA exam, has met the strict education and experience requirements, and with membership in the AICPA, has agreed to the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct.
Consider the PFP education offered in partnership with The American College. In addition the PFS Exam Review Course offers 32.5 hours of CPE.
Within the five year period preceding the date of the CPA/PFS application, the CPA/PFS candidate must have either: 2 years of full-time business or teaching experience (or 3,000 hours equivalent) in personal financial planning or, for candidates in academia, a qualified credential holder should be a full-time professor and have taught at least 4 accredited college courses with 50% of their material included in the CPA/PFS Body of Knowledge.
The experience must be in the 9 areas that make up the PFP Body of Knowledge, found in the PFS Credential Application Kit . Note that up to 1,000 hours of tax compliance experience can count toward the total experience requirement.

A year ago he had an affair while away (it's in my profile, long story). He said that at the time he was just looking for a friend online. Yeah, they met the next day and had sex. This last March I found a website where he had put up an ad looking for "active participation" for sex. The website was made a year ago while he was away.
That kind of blows the whole "I was just looking for a friend" excuse out of the water. He claims he set it up AFTER the affair because he was mad at me. Um, how much sense does that make and how is that reconciling if you did that?
Today, I wake up and he is sending an email and acts very strange about it. Very secretive. I ask to see his history on his computer. For today there was a sex site where you read stories. I wouldn't normally be angry but he hides these things. We argue. He leaves. I go to look at the rest of the history for the past 2 weeks. It is all deleted. Yet he claims he has nothing to hide.
Anway, the point of this whole long rambling post is that he still hides stuff, won't come clean about anything, and then tells me I am paranoid. He thinks I should just automatically TRUST again. No building of trust. Just TRUST.
Sick of his sh*t.
He said that at the time he was just looking for a friend online. Yeah, they met the next day and had sex.
Good grief. I guess one *can* have too many friends, huh?
He claims he set it up AFTER the affair because he was mad at me. Um, how much sense does that make and how is that reconciling if you did that?
Um, none? It amazes me how otherwise intelligent people can spew this level of idiocy. My H does the same thing--although, unlike yours, he won't confess to *anything.*
. . . he still hides stuff, won't come clean about anything, and then tells me I am paranoid. He thinks I should just automatically TRUST again. No building of trust. Just TRUST.
That's what I get. I think capri said the same thing. They lie and lie and lie. Then, when you don't believe them, they're *offended*! Why are they offended? Because they're telling the truth *this time,* of course!
I hope I get a straitjacket for Mother's Day. . . .
Isn't it amazing? The lies they tell that they think people will believe?
As far as confessing, he would still deny the affair if I hadn't found out about it on her MySpace page. But he claimed they were only kissing in those pictures to make her ex angry! I didn't believe that one.
Then later, when it was over, she contacted me and sent me pictures of them NAKED together. At least he didn't try to tell me they got naked and did nothing to make her ex angry.
I just got screamed at again about 10 minutes ago for not believing him that he has nothing to hide. For saying I was going to go talk to a chaplain (he is military and we are overseas) because I am so depressed and confused.
If there is nothing to hide, stop hiding nothing.

Just read your profile, Tolana. I think you can be certain that he has plenty more to hide, but what's of more concern is his utter lack of remorse about what you already know. I'm sure if you posted this in general, the overwhelming advice would be that your WS is still in "the fog" and that you need to do the 180 immediately.
If you need full disclosure to reconcile, then that's what you need--and if he's truly committed to reconciliation, that's what he'll give you.
[This message edited by dreamlife at 4:28 PM, May 11th (Sunday)]
The only thing I'm 100% sure of is that he's never going to confess.
We're basically living like roommates now. I can't bring myself to be vulnerable to him anymore, physically or emotionally, and he'd apparently rather live this way than to come clean. He acts as though things are just fine. Blows my mind, really, and also confirms my suspicions. Wouldn't an innocent man be anxious to address these glaring problems? Maybe not. He's a devoted conflict avoider. . . .
The best solution I can come up with, at least for right now, is to focus on myself and my child. I *have* begun to care less about how my H feels about our situation, which is kind of a relief. A sad relief, but that's my reality now.
I wish I could let all this go!
it won't work for all of you, it might not work for any of you AND, please be warned, you may hear stuff that you would rather not know, but here goes.
After dicovering his infidleity, which was a short lived thing that ended 18 monnths before I found out, all I got from him was stupid lies and gaslighting.
I did a lot of searching and eventually found her on the internet. I used his old secret email address (I had discovered the password and changed it), and I contacted her, and chated with her reminiscing about old times, except I got her to do all the talking. it wan't difficult she is stupid).
i then confronted him with the stuff I had learned from her. some of it he admitted to, some of it he is still denying, or who knows, maybe her memory wasn't totally accurate.
AGAIN, a warning, I did read things that were very hard to read AND I had to respond to them as though I was him.
If you have the means to do this, but don't think you can face it, you could ask a trusted friend.
Good luck.
Unfortunately, my H isn't an email guy (as far as I know, which isn't a lot--ahem), but I hope this helps one of my fellow In-the-Darkers.
Anyone have those moments where you feel like you're just going to scream and tear your hair out if you don't somehow get the truth?
But, like JB, I am caring hardly at all (it started off with caring less...and less... ) because as IC pointed out...if someone TRULY LOVED YOU, THEY WOULD NOT DO THIS TO YOU.
So, why keep banging my head against the wall daily?
I try to do little things that help me to Move On from the freak!
A tiger never changes his stripes to spots and after what he has done, I can never ever trust *anything* he says, again. Or, what he does, either.
(Even though he sent me a lovely fold out "Mother's Day" card -- from him & our CAT "son" and had a dozen yellow roses delivered; fuck it all, I just want The Truth...not roses and bullshit cards! )
Get a key logger...hire a P.I. Get "creative" & do whatever it takes to get YOU the peace that you NEED.
Unfortunately, I'm the kind of person who needs to KNOW everything. Sigh....
(((((hugs, everyone)))))
because this IS "torture*!!!
[This message edited by dreamlife at 11:04 AM, May 13th (Tuesday)]
I want the security of knowing when it started, why. and KNOWING it is over. Ireally don't want to take his word for it!
Maybe he's got just enough conscience that he can't bring himself to rail at me when he knows darn well what he's done? But he sure won't admit it. So he keeps trying to make amends while insisting there's really nothing to make amends for.
This is what I think, too. My H bends over backwards to accommodate my every whim (not exaggerating here). So yes, *exactly,* it's as if he's making amends without acknowledging he's done anything to make amends *for.*
Maybe one thing to do is to remove those opportunities? Don't let him do anything to alleviate his guilt and see what happens. If there is a conscience there, maybe he would, as my grandma used to say, "show himself."
Anyone have those moments where you feel like you're just going to scream and tear your hair out if you don't somehow get the truth?
Every day, capri, every day. I look at him and think how it's all in there; everything I need to know is right there in his brain. But short of CIA torture tactics, I'm not getting at it.
Hmmm. CIA torture tactics. Any books on this, I wonder?
Get a key logger...hire a P.I. Get "creative" & do whatever it takes to get YOU the peace that you NEED.
The problem in my situation, dreamlife, is that he's not doing anything right now--at least that's what my gut is telling me. I'd need a time machine to catch him at anything. But believe me, I'll be prepared for any future "indiscretions." I've learned a LOT on SI!

I love my sister and her little boy, but he is so rough when he comes over that I really don't like it when they visit. He constantly hits my kids and throws toys, even though my sister and I correct him. How do I let my sister know how I feel without hurting her feelings? – Bonnie, StrongMoms Facilitator
Touchy subject. Tell her the truth. You are responsible for protecting your children and if he is hitting them and throwing things and hurting them them something needs to be said or done. maybe make him a sticker chart or something so that he can understand the result of his actions and be rewarded for good behavior when he's earned it. Also after you have talked to your sister you both sit down with them and set new rules for all of the children and make it clear that when the rules are broken there will be a punishment and carry through with it.
I think Brinny is right, you need to be honest about his behavior. I love that she suggested some positive reinforcement tactics. You can tell im that these are rules for "your house". Then just set the expectations that when he is at your house this is the expectation. Harder said than done I know.
I have tried and she agrees with me that he shouldn't be hitting or anything...but then when they are over, she is very laid back on correcting him which puts me in a very awkward spot to correct him or put him in time out. I don't want to override her authority on parenting, but if she doesn't correct him---then should I?
Absolutely. I know that if i were in the same situation i would if i had to. Just as much as you need to respect her parenting decisions; she needs to respect the rules in your house and the safety of your children. If she's not stepping up to the plate so to speak then maybe you should lead by example, and if she's upset by it then maybe it would be a good time to make it clear to her that if she will not keep him under control in your house in a manner that she sees fit; then you will by the manner that you see fit. may sound harsh, but the longer you allow this to happen the worse the habit will be to brake.
I agree... safety is most important and you should be blunt. If this behavior keeps up, you won't have them over anymore.
Your right Brinny, the longer you allow things to happen the worst the habit will be break.

Last Friday's payroll report is continuing to lift the dollar—so much so that traders are starting to wonder how high it can really go.
Higher, said Callum Henderson, global head of FX research at Standard Chartered.
"It's an amazing market, which rejoices at just over 200,000 jobs created," he told CNBC. But even so, "the U.S. is a relatively strong story amidst anemic growth at best if not outright recession in Europe and elsewhere. So we still favor the U.S. dollar, particularly against G-10 currencies, for the first half" of the year.
Henderson is more sanguine on some currency pairs than others, though. Looking more closely at the G-10 currencies, he pointed out that "the dollar has outperformed particularly against those currencies where the central bank either has a weakening bias or is perceived to have a weakening bias."
Those would be the yen, what with the incoming Bank of Japan governor talking about aggressive monetary easing, and the British pound, thanks to weak economic reports bolstering expectations of new central bank stimulus.
Henderson noted that the dollar "is not extending gains against theeuro, where the ECB is shrinking its balance sheet." So despite Italian turmoil and French financial weakness, Henderson is looking elsewhere for currencies to trade against the dollar.
One note of caution: Henderson warns that the pound's slide could stall when the new Bank of England chief is actually installed. "When he actually comes in we may well see some buying back on the fact, but sell the rumor well ahead of time."

Students can patrol school grounds with guns
Maybe the National Rifle Association's suggestion that we arm schoolteachers is not so bizarre as it appears at first glance. Possibly we can build on this idea and take it a bit further.
When I went to First Ward School on West Maiden Street in Washington in the 1950s, we had a school safety patrol. Certain students were given shiny, nickel-plated badges (it is now a collector's item), a webbed belt of sorts and flagged bamboo poles used to stop vehicle traffic to allow kids to cross the street safely.
All in all, it was fairly effective, increased safety, improved students' self-image and couldn't have cost much. Maybe we can reinstitute the safety patrol with an updated agenda: Students could receive firearms training, be issued AR-15 semiautomatic rifles and quietly patrol the school grounds.
Please understand, there would have to be an effective gun orientation program. Students would receive some shooting lessons, be at least at the fifth-grade level and not be allowed to take rifles home at the end of the school day. This could be a cost-effective way to make our schools safer, and maybe the NRA would offer to help out and coordinate implementing this program nationwide.

"I absolutely love these cards. They are pretty with just the right touch of femininity. The quality of the paper is amazing for the price! Can't wait to send my first one out!"
"These cards are wonderful! I love the design and TinyPrints even changed the colour to match the business cards I ordered at the same time. The high quality of the paper is exactly what I have come to expect of TinyPrints (and WeddingPaperDivas). The cards are a lovely weight and easy to write on. I can't wait to send one of these cards!"
"Just what i was looking for, personalized cards that i could tweek to make my own. Easy to customize, lots of options, variety of styles to choose from. Quality is top notch."
"i actually ordered this in the black, white & grey tones. i love it. i always want a little something to send after i visit someone to thank them. this is a trendy little postcard that expresses me perfectly. its really high quality like everything ive ordered from tiny prints"
"I wanted to order a card without photos and found a large selection of cards on tinyprints. The box that allowed me to choose some and then review them to find my favorite was especially helpful. I really love that feature about this website. Delivery was amazingly fast. Thank you!"

Mozilla Public License 2.0
Congratulations to Mozilla on the release of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 after a two year versioning process. As Mozilla chair Mitchell Baker writes "Version 2.0 is similar in spirit to the previous versions, but shorter, better, and more compatible with other Free Software and Open Source Licenses."
MPL 1.1 is one of the more popular free and open source software licenses, most famously used for Mozilla's own Firefox browser. That MPL 2.0 is now compatible with the GPL, the most popular free and open source software license, is a big step forward for software. Why? Read Make Your Open Source Software GPL-Compatible. Or Else. which we link to in our FAQ explaining why CC licenses shouldn't be used for software (except CC0). But the principle of lessening incompatibility among licenses is a general one, and applies to licenses used for cultural and scientific works, public sector information, databases, and more, as well as software. Thus one of our highlighted goals for version 4.0 of the CC license suite:
Interoperability – maximize interoperability between CC licenses and other licenses to reduce friction within the commons, promote standards and stem license proliferation;
This is a difficult goal, requiring long-term thinking and collaboration with other license stewards. We have a number of other goals for version 4.0 of the CC license suite as all; we hope the cumulative effect will make for a much better license suite than 3.0. Of course each license (e.g., BY-SA) will also remain similar in spirit. Shorter? We'll see, balanced with everything else.
As the MPL 2.0 announcement notes, numerous people made valuable contributions to the development of that license. Possibly a first for a software license, even making the license look nice was addressed — something CC thinks is important, and another opportunity for people with different skills to help make licenses more useful. With a far greater diversity of projects using CC licenses, our need for community-wide feedback is even greater. We urge you to get involved in the CC 4.0 process.2 Comments »
Mozilla releases Learning, Freedom & the Web (e)book
Anya Kamenetz and Mozilla have released a great book called Learning, Freedom & the Web. It details many of the activities and ideas generated at Mozilla's eponymous festival held last year, "a 500 person meta-hackfest that took place in a Barcelona city square," says Ben Moskowitz from Mozilla. The book features participant interviews, project highlights, photographs and blog posts from the festival, as well as related content from across the Web reflecting on ideas around learning, freedom and the Web. One CC-related project conceptualized at the Festival is OpenAttribute, a browser plugin that makes it simple for anyone to copy and paste the correct attribution for any CC licensed work. Learning, Freedom & the Web is available as PDF download, HTML5 web version, or printed book. The book is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license.3 Comments »
Firefox 4
Firefox 4 is officially released today by our friends at Mozilla, and it is awesome. Install or upgrade now.
In large part due to Mozilla's leadership over the years, the Open Web is in good health. Open standards and open formats are becoming the norm. This means anyone, anywhere can develop innovative applications that will work in any modern browser, without asking anyone for permission or paying any fees.* See Mitchell Baker (chair of the Mozilla board) on why Firefox is more than just a great browser.
Note that CC Search is no longer included by default in the Firefox search bar dropdown list. This is eminently reasonable from a user experience and business perspective, about which we'll post more soon. If you want to add CC Search to your search bar, you can do so from the CC Search beta interface; feedback encouraged.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone at Mozilla and everyone who benefits from Mozilla's work — that means all 2 billion people who currently have access to the net, and hopefully soon the 5 billion people who do not yet have access — understand why any barrier to participation is a barrier too high.
* Except where content and data are concerned; that's where Creative Commons comes in. Today let's celebrate the openness of the web at the standards/protocols/formats layer.3 Comments »
Designing assessment and credit pathways for open education learners
Badge prototypes by P2PU & Mozilla / CC BY-SA
Getting students formal credit for their free and open education is a challenge, but groups and institutions are working around the world to come up with alternative pathways to recognition. The Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) is one such group that explored the topic in an assessment workshop last September and then co-designed virtual "badges" for recognition in real time at the Mozilla Drumbeat Festival in Barcelona. P2PU and Mozilla are piloting these badges via the P2PU School of Webcraft, and have solicited would-be developers for the skills and competencies that would best be reflected by a badge system. In collaboration with the MacArthur Foundation, they have drafted An Open Badge System Framework: A foundational piece on assessment and badges (Google doc).
A meeting to build an OER University
Alternatives, such as the badge system above, may factor into a plan to bring formal recognition to open education learners' achievements. In an effort to combine institutional forces, the Open Educational Resources (OER) Foundation will host an international planning meeting on February 23 to co-design assessment and credit pathways for open learning. As open educational resources (OER) under CC licenses become more integrated into institutional education, the OER foundation (along with Otago Polytechnic in New Zealand, the University of Southern Queensland in Australia, and Athabasca University in Canada) is hoping to "provide flexible pathways for OER learners to earn formal academic credit and pay reduced fees for assessment and credit."
The challenge is to find robust mechanisms for academic credit for these OER learners. "Students seek flexible study opportunities, but they also want their achievements recognised in credible credentials." said Sir John Daniel, President of the Commonwealth of Learning. "This important meeting will tackle the challenges of combining flexibility with rigour, which requires clarity in conception and quality in execution."
The OER Foundation invites and encourages all post-secondary institutions and others "who care about sharing knowledge as a core value of education" to join the meeting, which will be streamed virtually by UNESCO to enable participation by all.
The foundation believes "OER is a sustainable and renewable resource," but that "collaboration among education institutions will be a prerequisite for success."

Open Attribute, a simple way to attribute CC-licensed works on the web
Open Attribute, "a suite of tools that makes it ridiculously simple for anyone to copy and paste the correct attribution for any CC licensed work," launched today with browser add-ons for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. The add-ons "query the metadata around a CC-licensed object and produce a properly formatted attribution that users can copy and paste wherever they need to."
If you use our license chooser and copy and paste the resulting HTML code into your website, then you're pretty much good to go. Anyone who uses the Open Attribute browser add-on to query your site will automatically receive a formatted HTML or plain text attribution that they can copy and paste to give you the proper credit.
Open Attribute uses CC REL metadata found in the pages to generate the attribution metadata. You might remember that we developed a guide with real examples to make CC REL metadata much easier to implement: CC REL by Example contains example HTML pages, as well as explanations and links to more information. If you're curious to see how Open Attribute pulls the metadata, the guide includes a specific section on Attributing Reuses.
Open Attribute is a direct result of the Mozilla Drumbeat Festival held last year in Barcelona on Learning, Freedom and the Web. See Molly Kleinman's post for a more comprehensive run-down of the origins and team behind Open Attribute.6 Comments »
CC Talks With: Mark Surman from the Mozilla Foundation
The Mozilla Foundation is unabashedly committed to a free and open web. They see it as a vital part of a healthy digital ecosystem where creativity and innovation can thrive. We couldn't agree more. And we couldn't be prouder to have Mozilla's generous and ongoing support. We were recently able to catch up with Mark Surman, the Foundation's Executive Director, who talks about Mozilla and its myriad projects, and how his organization and ours are a lot like lego blocks for the open web.
Mark Surman by Joi Ito / CC BY
Most people associate Mozilla with the Firefox but you do much more than just that – can you give our readers some background on the different arms of Mozilla as an organization? What is your role there?
Mozilla's overall goal is to promote innovation and opportunity on the web — and to guard the open nature of the internet.
Firefox is clearly the biggest part of this. But we're constantly looking for new ways to make the internet better. Our growing focus on identity, mobile and web apps is a part of this. Also, we're reaching out more broadly beyond software to invite people like filmmakers, scientists, journalists, teachers and so on to get involved.
Personally, I'm most active in this effort to reach out more broadly and to get many more people involved in our work. Much of this is happening through a program I helped start called Mozilla Drumbeat. As Executive Director of Mozilla Foundation, I also manage the overall umbrella legal structure for all of Mozilla's activities.
What is the connection between Mozilla and CC? Do you use our tools in your various projects?
At the highest level, Mozilla and CC are both working for the same thing — a digital society based on creativity, innovation and freedom. And, of course, we use CC licenses for content and documents that we produce across all Mozilla projects.
Mozilla has given generously to Creative Commons – what was the motivation behind donating? What is it about CC that you find important?
I think of both organizations as giving people 'lego blocks' that they can use to make and shape the web. Mozilla's lego blocks are technical, CC's are legal. Both help people create and innovate, which goes back to the higher vision we share.
What do you see as CC's role in the broader digital ecosystem? How does CC enable Mozilla to better innovate in that space?
We need an organization like CC to make sure that the content layer of the web is as open and free as the core tech upon which it's all built. It's at this content layer that most people 'make the web' — it's where people feel the participatory and remixable nature of the web. Keeping things open and free at this level — and making them more so — is critical to the future of the open web.
Help ensure a bright future for the open web and donate to Creative Commons today.No Comments »
Featured Superhero: Mitchell Baker, Chairwoman of Mozilla
I'm pleased to introduce Mitchell Baker, the next of our exceptional CC Superheroes to tell you in her own words why she supports Creative Commons and why you should too. As the leader of the Mozilla Project, she is responsible for organizing and motivating a massive, worldwide collective of employees and volunteers who are breathing new life into the Internet with the Firefox Web browser and other Mozilla products. Here is her story. Join Mitchell in supporting Creative Commons with a donation today.
Mitchell Baker
"Creative Commons fills a vitally important role in building an innovative and creative society. Creative Commons provides an easy way for people to choose to collaborate in creative activities, complementing the default settings of copyright law. I hope you'll join me in supporting Creative Commons.
Imagine you take two photos. You'd like to restrict use of the first photo as much as possible — you don't want anyone to post it anywhere, or to use it or to alter it. Maybe this is because you think it's a good candidate for selling, maybe because it's personal and you don't want anyone else to use it, maybe because you think it's perfect as is and would be diminished if anyone changed anything about it. The other photo you feel very differently about. You'd like to see what people might do with it. Maybe you'd like to see it distributed widely with your name attached to enhance your reputation, or so people come to you to buy other photos. Maybe you think it would be good set to music or included in slideshows, or maybe you'd like to see how people might alter it.
Figuring out how to get maximum protection for the first photo is easy. One simply does nothing — in most countries a creative work is automatically subject to default copyright law. If one wants to emphasize this one can add a copyright notice, but this is not required. Maximum restriction is the default.
Figuring out how to let other people build upon one's creative work is actually much harder. In fact, without Creative Commons there is no easy way to do so. Creative Commons provides a clear, effective way for each of us to choose to share our creative work when we want to, dramatically reducing the barriers to voluntary sharing. It provides legally enforceable mechanisms that live happily alongside the default of maximum restriction of copyright law. Creative Commons empowers creators to choose how our works are used and shared as well as protected.
The ability to share our creative works easily is an important complement to the traditional ability to restrict their use. It's important for individuals and it's important for society. There is no doubt that the voluntary sharing of effort can produce immense civic, social, and individual value. Voluntary collaboration, based on shared resources, shared data and shared creative work provides new tools for solving complex problems. By making voluntary sharing easy, Creative Commons provides new avenues for individual choice and human interaction.
Mozilla embodies this idea, as do vast portions of the Internet. Mozilla relies on voluntary collaboration to build individual empowerment into the structure of the Internet. We use a Creative Commons license for many of our materials. Creative Commons licenses have a similar spirit to the Mozilla Public License, which allows software innovators to release their creations to the public to be built upon, expanded, and improved in ways that we never thought possible. Creative Commons makes it easy to extend this idea beyond software to other creative content. We support Creative Commons financially as well.
If you haven't tried sharing some of your creative work, I invite you to try it. Next time you need a photo for something, search your favorite photo sites for CC licensed work. Add some of your own. Share some of your music and see what comes of it. Consider a donation to Creative Commons. Be open to openness."No Comments »
Mozilla and the P2PU School of Webcraft
In September, Mozilla and P2PU are launching the P2PU School of Webcraft, and they invite you to participate. The partnership leverages Mozilla's experience and the P2PU community to create a social learning environment for those who want to "learn the craft of open and standards-based web development." The P2PU School of Webcraft is a set of courses centered on the open web, including "Introduction to HTML5″ and "Building Social with the Open Web." From the call for proposals,
Following on the delivery model developed by P2PU, course organizers volunteer to take existing open learning materials or develop their own content and lead a group of peers through 6 weeks of online classes. Courses focus on project based learning in a peer environment and are proposed, created and led by members of the web development community – so the content will always be up to date with the latest technologies.
We'd love for you to become a part of this project and until July 18 we're inviting course proposals for P2PU School of Webcraft. We've made it really easy to get started, just fill out the proposal form, it takes less than 5 minutes!
The school is completely free and open, with all P2PU produced material licensed under CC BY-SA—which means anyone can build on the courses and run their own. But anyone can also get involved with P2PU by proposing a course or participating in one, or just learning more. You can also check out the School of Webcraft in 103 seconds.No Comments »
Mozilla Drumbeat Festival 2010: Learning, freedom and the web
Mozilla has announced the first ever Drumbeat Festival focused on learning, freedom, and the web. Mozilla wants you to save the dates November 4-5, as the festival is set to take place in Barcelona—also where the Open Ed Conference will be taking place from November 2-4. From the announcement:
Learning, freedom and the web are connected. This connection has huge potential. The technology and culture of the internet offer the raw material to put people in control of their own learning in a massive and transformative way. At the same time, teachers and learners can play a critical role in ensuring that these raw materials — and the internet as a whole — remain open and free.
This is the focus of Mozilla's first annual Drumbeat Festival: gathering passionate and practical people who are experimenting, inventing, creating, exploring and building things at the intersection of learning, freedom and the web.
Drumbeat Festival 2010 will showcase people, ideas and projects with huge potential. Things like:
1. A secure 'data backpack' where students control their own learning materials and credentials
2. Libraries transformed into digital garages where kids learn to make, do and create with an agile, hacker attitude
3. Massively scaled apprenticeship, we people learn by diving into the world of open source master craftspeople
4. Hackerspaces where people teach each other about everything from robots to lasers to knitting
5. Alternative accreditation models based on web and open source peer review techniques
The idea is to gather people working on ideas like this — and people with all the puzzle pieces needed to make them real at a massive scale.
Creative Commons, along with the MacArthur Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, is partnering with Mozilla to make this event possible. For more information and to sign up to receive updates visit http://drumbeat.org/drumbeat_festival_2010.1 Comment »
Join Creative Commons for Mozilla Service Week September 14-21
Mozilla Service Week is happening September 14-21, 2009, and during that week Mozilla is trying to bring people together to help teach one another about the web. Creative Commons is answering Mozilla's call for participation by hosting an online help desk via our IRC channel. Our IRC channel (#cc on the Freenode network) is typically a place where our developers and people interested in the technology of CC hang out. During Service Week we're inviting everyone to join us there for a virtual CC help desk.
The CC help desk is a place for experienced CC-ers (staff, Jurisdiction partners, and community members), to come together to share their collective expertise with those that are new to CC and need a little, or a lot, of guidance.
The CC community will be providing help with the following topics:
- General CC help
- CC technology (ccREL and software projects)
- Where and how to publish CC works
- Where and how to find CC works
- CC in education and science
If you'd like to help out, add your name to our Mozilla Service Week wiki page and pledge your hours at mozillaservice.org. If you have questions, join the channel during Service Week and ask a volunteer.

|Aside from being able to watch a team that can beat anyone on its day, and often does, Goodison Park is one of the best places to experience live football as the stands are steep and edge you closer to the action.
In recent years Everton have narrowly missed out on either winning a domestic cup or qualifying for a place in European competition. There's no doubt that one of these two objectives will be achieved soon so all games at Goodison Park are treated as seriously as cup finals. As well as the football, Liverpool has a wide variety of attractions to explore making an Everton Match Break great value.
Everton Match Breaks include official match tickets & an overnight stay in a hotel on a bed & breakfast basis.

This could be the biggest U.S. bull market of our careers, Richard Bernstein of Richard Bernstein Advisors said at the TDAmeritrade Institutional conference on Thursday.
"The word 'uncertainty' is telling you there are immense opportunities in the market," he said. But Bernstein added that worries about inflation, debt and deficits, slowing profit margins, sluggish economic growth and tax policy still hang over the equity markets.
Bernstein also said bull markets are characterized by "fear and indecision" and that the signs of a bear market — including overvaluation and over enthusiasm for stocks — are not yet present, even as the markets flirt with new all-time highs.
Retail investors, meanwhile, are nibbling at equities again. But Bernstein noted Wall Street strategists are recommending their lowest allocation to stocks in the past 30 years.
Not all strategists, though, share Bernstein's expectations that the bull market will continue its run.
Byron Wein told CNBC this week he expects the S&P 500 to end the year where it started. "Eventually corporate fundamentals will take over, and I think they're going to be disappointing," said Wein of Blackstone Advisory Partners. (Read more: Dow 15,000 by Year End, Says Professor Siegel)
US Industrial Renaissance
But Bernstein sees opportunities including investing in American manufacturing, as the markets march higher.
The American industrial renaissance is the "best theme anywhere in the world," Bernstein said. He conceded that U.S. manufacturing won't return to its heyday of the 1950s and 1960s. But the sector is thriving as energy and labor costs become more competitive.
This theme was echoed by CEOs at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this month. Cheap energy is the "bull case for the world," Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris told CNBC last week. (Read more: Cheap Energy Luring Manufacturing Back to the US)

Pennsylvania's Biggest Bear Of 2006!Gary Gustafson, Bear Hunting Magazine
|John Eppinette and his trophy
Popeye From Pennsylvania
John Eppinette of Adamstown, Pennsylvania took his first bear in 2006 after 5 years of hunting, and he will probably never see a bigger one. John is one of the 25-member Over The Hill Gang. This groups members have been bear hunting since the early 1960s. They were driving the woods in classic Pennsylvania style in Potter County on Monday November 20th. The group harvested 3 bears on their first drive, saw none on the second, and then 2 hunters missed a monster on their third drive. Scott Maxwell had the men re-group and they drove the same area again. At about 3:30 John got a crack at the same large bruin and he took full advantage of the opportunity. His first shot from his Remington 280 at 45 yards hit the bear but did not put it down. John pursued the bear through the woods until the bear emerged again on a ridge about 25 yards away. He shot the bear again. The bear then turned and walked towards John who put his last 2 shots into it, anchoring it for good. They used an ATV and a group of men to haul the beast out to an access road where a backhoe took the bear to a nearby registration station. The field-dressed bear was weighed on a Pennsylvania Game Commission scale at 587 Lbs. The PGC estimate on live weight is 693 Lbs. The bears hide squared at 7 feet 6 inches. Although the skull is still drying for official scoring, John measured 17 of width ear-tip to ear-tip which shows the beach-ball sized head the bear had.
Check out the March/April 2007 issue for all of the biggest bears of 2006!

Combining the educational breadth of a museum with the excitement of a nautical theme park, Mystic Seaport brings bygone maritime traditions back to vibrant life. Guides offer expert takes on the standing exhibits, and museum staff dish out period-appropriate quips in the recreated 19th-century river village. Witness the process of restoring old boats at the Preservation Shipyard, or see the ancient vessels themselves floating on the water. Should the sea catch your fancy, you can even go for a trip around the point, renting boats or arriving in your own. Children 5 and younger are admitted free.
Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea
The fresh breezes that buffet Mystic's shoreline probably feel much the same as they did 150 years ago, so it's a fitting place to find America's nautical history resurrected. Called Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea, the extensive grounds could almost qualify as a theme park. In addition to the museum proper, the complex hosts a rebuilt 19th-century sea-faring village, a working shipyard, and extensive gardens that blanket the grounds. Live museum staff lead demonstrations and performances throughout, even welcoming guests aboard the four National Historic Landmark vessels moored in port. Nearby, captains take visitors out on the water in a coal-fired steamboat to experience the river and town from a different angle. They also rent out their vessels to other licensed boaters seasonally, who can sail or row their way across the Mystic River. When tired of ship studying and naval gazing, guests can head to the Treworgy Planetarium and turn their eyes to the stars, learning how to chart courses in the manner of ancient captains, modern astronauts, and late-night deliverymen.

With this additional funding, the United States' humanitarian assistance since the crisis began is more than $1.7 billion to help those suffering inside Syria, as well as refugees and host communities in the neighboring countries.
Though nearly all of Syria's population is affected by the conflict, Syria's youth are paying the heaviest toll. To keep children healthy, this U.S. government funding ensures vaccination campaigns for measles, rubella, and polio continue for millions of children in the region. The UN estimates that at least 3 million children have dropped out of school since the onset of the crisis, with approximately 2.2 million children out of school inside Syria. This funding supports programs to enhance Syrian children's access to schools and safe learning spaces, as well as counseling for Syrian youth, the majority of whom have witnessed violence firsthand.
The United States continues to work through all possible channels to deliver aid to those in need in Syria, including through the United Nations, international and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and local Syrian organizations.

Current Syria Fact Sheet
Key Developments
The Syrian crisis has resulted in the death of at least 150,000 people—including approximately 50,000 civilians, an estimated 58,000 pro-Syrian Arab Republic Government (SARG) combatants, and 38,000 non-SARG fighters—since conflict erupted in 2011, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The U.K.-based observatory, which monitors violence in Syria through a network of activists, medical personnel, and security sources, has reported that hostilities could have killed as many as 220,000 people. The U.N. no longer updates its estimate of people killed in the Syrian conflict, citing security issues that prevent it from verifying information sources.
The U.N. World Food Program (WFP) and the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) expect below-average May wheat and barley harvests in Syria due to persistent insecurity and drought conditions. Clashes continue to restrict access to farmland, hampering agricultural production as farmers are unable to prepare and tend the land. WFP and FAO have also expressed concern regarding emerging drought conditions detected in Syria's main croplands. Remote weather data reveal that areas of northwest Syria have received significantly below-average rainfall in recent months. Drought conditions are also affecting crop-producing areas of Aleppo, Dar'a, Hamah, Homs, and Idlib governorates. WFP expects the 2014 wheat harvest to yield between 1.7 and 2 million metric tons (MT), or roughly half of pre-conflict levels.
On March 28, U.N. Emergency Relief Coordinator and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos publicly criticized SARG-imposed access restrictions, forcible population displacement caused by armed actors, and the SARG's use of barrel bombs—metal barrels packed with shrapnel and explosives that maim and kill. Amid worsening humanitarian and security conditions, access constraints are impeding the ability of relief agencies to provide emergency assistance for more than 3.5 million people living in besieged and hard-to-reach areas, according to the U.N. Amos noted that opening two border crossings on the Syria–Turkey border could potentially expand the U.N.'s humanitarian access to an estimated 1.1 million people in need.

For the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, time is growing short to fund research that demonstrates the potential of stem cells to help treat everything from cancer to heart disease to spinal cord injuries.
The agency, created by voters in 2004, has given out more than half of its $3 billion from state bonds and must spend the rest by 2017. The largest U.S. funding source for stem-cell research outside the federal government, it's under pressure to show results to attract new money from pharmaceutical companies, venture capitalists or even more municipal bonds.
"We need to figure out how to keep them going," said Jonathan Thomas, a founding partner of Saybrook Capital in Los Angeles, and chairman of the institute's board, which meets Wednesday. "We could do public-private partnerships, venture philanthropy, a ballot box."
Embryonic stem cells have the potential to change into any type of cell in the body. They are among the first cells created in embryos after conception. Scientists hope they may replace damaged or missing tissue in the brain, heart and immune system.
California voters approved the bonds after President George W. Bush banned the use of federal funds for research on embryonic stem cells. Since then, other types of stem cells have been shown to act like embryonic cells, relieving some of the debate over the ethics of destroying human embryos to use the cells.
The agency's funding decisions have included a grant of $20 million to a team led by Irv Weissman at the Stanford University School of Medicine, seeking a cure for cancer.
Weissman's team is working on an antibody manufactured with stem cells that allows a cancer patient's own immune system to destroy a tumor, instead of relying on toxic radiation or chemotherapy. The antibody counteracts a protein called CD47, which creates what scientists call a "don't eat me" shield around the cancer. Once that cloak is removed, the patient's immune system recognizes the cancer and attacks the tumor, shrinking or eliminating it.
Tests on humans are to begin early next year. The antibody has already worked in mice against breast, colon, ovarian, prostate, brain, bladder and liver cancer.
Two other research projects funded by the California agency are in human trials now - one targeting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and another that regrows cardiac tissue in heart- attack victims.
California paid $97 million from its general fund for the bonds this year, according to the state Finance Department. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office has projected debt service costs of about $3 billion, in addition to the $3 billion principal.
The institute, with headquarters a block away from AT&T Park on San Francisco's waterfront, has awarded grants totaling $1.8 billion to 73 institutions since 2007. Much of the early financing went to build labs and supply them with equipment. The agency now wants to devise ways to round up more money so that it can continue making grants after 2017.
"We're getting some fantastic pre-clinical results," Thomas said. "But science takes time."
An advisory board has recommended that the agency push forward as quickly as possible with human testing on its most promising six to eight projects.
Brock Reeve, executive director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, said a rush could waste money by going too far down paths with false promise.
"There have been a lot of clinical trials in the stem cell field broadly that haven't panned out," Reeve said.
Brock Reeve is the half-brother of the actor Christopher Reeve, who suffered a spinal-cord injury in 1995 that left him quadriplegic. The star of the 1978 film "Superman" recorded a television commercial in support of California's stem-cell initiative that was broadcast days after his death in 2004 at 52.
Some of the money that Christopher Reeve campaigned for went to Menlo Park.-based Geron Corp., which was awarded $25 million by the state agency. It shelved its testing of spinal-cord stem-cell therapy in 2011 because of research costs and regulatory complexities. The research was the first clinical trial using human embryonic stem cells approved by the FDA. Geron later sold its stem-cell program for $35 million in cash and stock to Alameda-based Biotime.
Nevertheless, the stem-cell agency's go-commercial push is warranted, said Hank Greely, a professor specializing in biomedical issues at Stanford Law School who heads California's Human Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee.
"It's bold but I think worth trying," Greely said
"Ultimately, companies will be essential to the development and widespread use of cell-based therapies," he said in an interview. "The 'valley of death' between promising research and actual biomedical products is a well-known problem. This seems like a good test of one possible way to avoid it."

The world as we know it is changing. There is no such thing as business as usual. While most of our days may still be taken up with doing business on the telephone and managing projects on paper, the percentage of time event planning professionals spend using the Internet is growing. And that time may be our most productive time, the time of greatest strategic importance. To ensure that the time you spend on the Web is some of your most valuable, you should demand certain important things from your online professional planning resources. When you go to the World Wide Web to seek planning resources, there are 10 questions you should ask of a Web site.
1. Are the resources that are available international in scope? The Internet is the ultimate global resource, available all the time, 24 hours a day, no matter where you are. Yet few Web sites take advantage of the fact that they can provide information to those outside the confines of the United States, or to those who need information about the rest of the world. Few Web sites accomplish this, partly because the scope of their business services is not truly global.
If you are in charge of planning international meetings and events, you can and should be able to demand global information. Look for a Web site that is global in scope; one that not only provides information that is internationally relevant, but is also able to provide the richness of information that answers the needs of diverse groups of users.
2. Does the Web site let you conduct research? Assess the quality of the information on the site. Is it merely a marketing tool, or does it go beyond marketing to provide information and resources that allow you to do your job better? Is the information on the site specific? Is it relevant? Many Web sites only provide "teaser" information to get people to call them or to send an e-mail, or even just to register. However, you should demand more than a brochure from a site; you should demand to be informed.
3. Can you easily submit a Request for Proposal? An online RFP should be easy to navigate and use. It should remind you to provide information about the relevant details of your program while allowing you to represent the unique nature of your demands. An online RFP should not try to shoehorn your information into a predetermined format that means you may have to leave out important information, only to have to follow up later when your planning phase has moved beyond Web interaction.
The Web site should also provide you with choices for submitting your RFP. It should recognize that many planners have already created an electronic document outlining their program needs, and that the ability to quickly send an e-mail with an attachment might be the way you choose to communicate. You deserve this time-saving, efficient step.
4. Was the site created by event planning professionals? Many Web sites are created for purposes other than the professional purposes they state. Many purport to offer free information and drive traffic to the site to give advertisers access to their visitors through paid banner ads. You should demand that your online planning resource was created, first and foremost, as a planning resource for you by genuine industry professionals.
5. Does the site provide access to a community of professional colleagues? A Web site should provide the means for communication with your professional colleagues. Many excellent Web sites provide a bulletin board or forum for you to use to ask and/or answer questions from your colleagues in the meeting and event planning profession. Queries can range from "how-to" to issues in strategic management. In addition, a Web site's information should change weekly, if not daily, and you should be able to publish information, get recognition, and give feedback.
6. Is the site easy to use? Easy Web site navigation is possible - any site that fails to make it easy for you to get around is either poorly designed or, like supermarkets that bury the bread and milk at the back of the store, asking you to get through other information before you get what you need. Busy meeting planners don't have time for inefficient Web site navigation. You should be able to click easily through the pages you need. Some Web sites take this a step further and allow you to personalize your site by determining the order in which you prefer the pages to appear.
7. Can you have control over the information you leave on the Web site? The Web site is for you, and you should be able to control the information you leave there. Your information should not disappear into cyberspace, but should be archived, so that you can go back to it, change it, manage it, delete it, and resubmit it. You should not have to re-enter your information time and time again - the Web site should know you and respond to you as an individual. A Web site should not be a barrier to personal communication; it should enhance that communication.
8. Are you recognized for your professional status? If the Web site is a true professional resource, it should provide the means for you to be recognized for your professional status and experience. While it may be slightly time-consuming to answer survey items, they allow you to be recognized as an event planning professional, and even more importantly, they allow for ongoing, enhanced, personalized communication between you and the organization.
9. Does the site go beyond informing to allow communication? The feature to look for is communication, not information. Are features available that allow you to provide information, and do features provide you with the information you need? Does the Web site generate communication from the organization, such as timely and useful online newsletters and notification of updates and features that are of interest to you? More importantly, do you get the proposals you need in a timely manner? Does the Web site lead to valuable interaction with the organization it represents? With online communication, "high-tech" should lead to "high-touch."
10. Does the Web site make you more efficient? The bottom line is your ROI - the return on your online investment. From a valuable professional resource, you should demand efficient communication, excellent information, changing and adapting informational resources, and newsletters and educational materials such as case studies and in-depth profiles. These types of resources make your time online valuable; they increase your ROI.
It is easy for international event planners to recognize that time is one of your most valuable resources. Online event planning resources should be created with that in mind. These 10 tips will help you to identify the best of the Web and help you to avoid the pitfalls that all too often waste precious resources.
