An impressive short film

This is a pretty impressive piece of work.  It must have taken months to paint all those animated frames on public walls.

Speaking at Internet Retailer Conference

Internet Retailer 2008 - Chicago
After attending PubCon I was convinced that I had the background and experience to speak with some authority on topics of interest at similar conferences. As circumstance would have it, one of our vendors, YourAmigo, invited me to join them as a speaker at Internet Retailer 2008 in Chicago June 9-12.

Session Title: Mixing Web 2.0 & Organic Search: Ensuring You Can be Found in the New World of 2.0
Session Date and Time: Tuesday, June 10, 2008, 2:30-3:15
Co-Presenter(s): Rahmon Coupe, CEO, Your Amigo (view profile)
Jamal Pilger, CIO-CTO, Galasource Inc. (view profile)

I’ll be telling the “Galasource success story” and sharing some information about how we achieved an astounding 63% of our web traffic from [free] organic sources. That’s pretty impressive for a competitive B2B e-commerce site. We’ll also be discussing the barriers to implementing Web 2.0 technologies and a case study that YourAmigo and Galasource did related to optimization of Product Reviews.

Jumping in, finally!

Jamal PilgerWoah, can you believe it? I’ve been an Internet professional since 1994 and this is my first personal blog. Why? I’m not really sure, to be honest. My tendency is to fly under the radar, perhaps, until I’m completely comfortable with a new technology and ready to fully embrace it. No doubt, blogs are here to stay. So, here goes… stay tuned for future updates on… well, anything I choose to write about. Hey, this could be fun! ;-)
