So I didn’t post on the 30th as it was a busy day to close out the conference. I did not attend any of the sessions, although there was one I really wanted to attend. The exhibition hall was slow and it provided a good opportunity to speak to the company representatives on a more personal level. We were quite excited to find out that some of the companies want to work with us on future media and press information.
And now, some interesting tidbits from the conference-
- Social media is an important form of connecting with consumers
- IPv4 is running out and IPv6 will take affect in two years
- Spam is increasing exponentially and is still everyone’s nightmares
- SaaS (software a a service) is becoming increasing popular as a mode of deployment for software. For customers, SaaS is easy to maintain since the updating and maintenance occurs on the host’s side.
- Green hosting was not a crucial issue. I currently believe that green hosting will be the next step in as companies become more environmentally friendly. Hopefully, it will become more important in the upcoming years with newer technologies to complement it.
- Product branding is vital for hosting companies even though consumers see hosting as a standard good.
If you have questions, feel free to post comments. We appreciate what you think.
