Hostingcon and travel delays
Many of the Hostingcon sessions have been commented on by various bloggers and unfortunately mine was not one of them. Due to two flights being cancelled, I had an unexpected overnight stay in an airport hotel in Toronto meaning that I didn’t arrive until 6pm on Monday night – 24 hrs later than planned and 9 hrs late for my presentation. I had many people mention to me that they were in the room ready for the session and disappointed when they heard it was cancelled. Firstly I’m sorry to those of you who showed up. Hostingcon will be sending out copies of the presentations however if you would like a personal overview or clarification of the presentation, I would like to offer you the ability to reach out to me via phone 604 731-5530 or by email – info @ ebridgemarketingsolutions.com for any questions you have.
As it turns out, the next leg of my travels to Columbus OH also resulted in huge delays and took all day to get from BWI to Columbus due to flight cancellations out of La Guardia (over capacity issues). I think I might follow this entry up with a side discussion about marketing and the airline industry. I have a few theories to test and I’m interested to hear your feedback. I hope the rest of you had better luck than I did.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
