web team

I'm a sucker for "best of" and "top 10" lists. I enjoy them for the kernels of knowledge that I can file away for future reference. You never know when practical tidbits like, the Top 10 Herbivores You Probably Want to Avoid, may come in handy. 

In the pioneer days of the Web, only the 'dot com' companies required a dedicated Web team. As for the rest of us, we could get by with a lone Webmaster. Likely the Webmaster role was just a part-time responsibility - someone who knew how to use Dreamweaver and could ftp the occasional photo or press release to the site.

So, on Sunday, I'm off to Aarhus, Denmark to participate in the jboye08 conference. This is one of my favorite events of the year for a variety of reasons-- most of which have to do with the the other speakers and participants. There's always an interesting, international mix of speakers. And, the participants are derived largely from jboye's communities of practice in Denmark. So, they are educated about Web Operations Management and ask really great questions.
