Web IQ Quiz for Business Owners (v1)

Knowledge is the power currency in the beginning of this third millennium.  If you are doing business on the web, then there is a whole new vocabulary to learn!  Try our Web IQ Quiz - v1.  We intend to add more over time. After all, knowledge is being created (and destroyed!) on a moment by moment basis.

Q1. What does "above the fold" mean?

Q2. What setting does the typical pc office computer use, "8 by 6" or "10 by 7"?
(Bonus points: why does this matter to your web site?)

Q3. What is RSS and what is one of the main features it adds to modern web sites that is not available on older web sites?

Q4. Are you reading blogs weekly or more often?

Q5. How can you tell how many other web sites are linking to your site?

2 pts for each correct answer. Guess all five and earn a perfect 10!

UPDATE:
I'd like to provide a little more incentive for those of you who know more about your business than the web. If these questions look like a foreign language, be one of the first three (3) business owners to submit "I don't know!" comments here, and we'll give you a free BizzyCast blog for six months. We're here to help you use the web successfully as a business tool.

ThinkTech Radio in Honolulu

The podcasting buzz is showing up all over the place; there’s no escaping it these days. Shane and I were interviewed yesterday for a brief spot on today’s (5/25) ThinkTech Radio Show.

We were interviewed by Ron Dennis - a notable who is also pursuing an interview with Donald Trump regarding his purported move into the Hawaii real estate development arena. I must say I find it curious to potentially be one degree of separation from the Donald. But back to podcasting, I'm not sure if our little piece (we were told about one minute) will be front or back, so tune in early!

The next ThinkTech Radio Show is on Wednesday, May 25, 2005. David Levy, Martin Dunsmuir and Brian Richardson will discuss "ThinkTech tackles the meaning of life, in a world of ever-expanding technology."
KIPO 89.3 FM Wednesdays at 5-6 p.m

We also had lunch with the above-mentioned Martin Dunsmuir at our recent Podcasting seminar with the University of Phoenix. He's working on several interesting "big think" projects, so this looks to be a very entertaining show!

Learn How to Podcast

Bare Feet Studios sends out congratulations to fellow Hawaii podcaster Todd Cochrane on his soon to be released book, Podcasting – The Do It Yourself Guide.

Todd is an amazing geek - one who has a great sense of tech, a work ethic that astounds even his fellow workaholics, and a business mind that is not based on greed. In my experience, a rare and refreshing mix of humanity.

I am talking about using this medium combined with weblogs to create true changes in society, and how we feed our brains with information on a daily basis.—Todd Cochrane

Based here in Hawaii, he has been producing the popular podcast, Geek News Central, for several months. He was approached by a publisher to write the book on podcasting, and so he took on yet another major task - and kept it private! (Add that to his list of stellar qualities.)

You can pre-order Todd's book now at Amazon.com

Aloha e Todd!
