iDEVCO staff is current with the latest technologies and uses of technologies. Wither it be Ajax programming techniques or developing a strategy to
leverage web 2.0 social media trends, iDEVCO is there to provide guidance and support.
There are two main trends in social media. The first is towards people wanted to produce and be participatory, vs. passive consumer for entertainment.
Rather than read a book or watch TV, people today are creating and posting YouTube videos and updating Wikipedia. Is your company tapping
into and harnessing this trend?
The second is a trend towards crowdsourcing ' the harnessing of large crowds in a democratic fashion to get the right answer. Much as the stock
market trades are a series of votes on whether a company is doing well or poorly, the web creates its own communities. Harnessing the most
popular news stories or videos makes a statement through a series of "votes" about what resonates in the public today. Crowds can
also assist with finding the right answer. It maybe Wikipedia or a company forum that allows users to assist each other and provide
valuable feedback to the company. Is your company using this source of free information and assistance?
