Meryl's Notes Blog

We’ve lost a lot of good sites (we sound like a broken record). Some because they ran out of green. Some because they were damned tired. According to Matt Marshall of Mercury News, content is spreading like it’s 1999 (gosh, that seems long ago). I still have the same question — where’s the revenue model? Collecting a bunch of dollars to start a business doesn’t mean anything without a solid business plan focused on profit.

Wow. We’re getting lots of good information from Oregon’s WebVisions. Shirley provides the right details to make you feel like you were there. It’s a nice change to hear about a successful Web-related conference. It’s been nasty this year… Internet Content closed down due to lack of attendees. Internet World Chicago had empty rooms.

Anyway, I am getting off the point. Jeffrey Zeldman kindly posted the notes from his lectures at WebVisions. Check out the Web Standards and CSS lecture notes. So much material… so little time.

Da do da ron ron. I can’t get that right.

Unlucky in Web speed? Tired of waiting for a cable company or phone company to get the friggin’ DSL or cable connection in your neighborhood? You could try using software to speed up your Web experience, but think hard before trying Webearly3.

My Web appreciation of the day: Ev of Blogger and Jeffrey Zeldman. Have you appreciated your Web guide lately?
