Hi Everyone -

I look forward to meeting new colleagues and friends here. I am a long-time WebMaster, BlogMaster, College Instructor (Web Development), and Technical Writer. I have also worked in the Web Hosting industry. Stop by and say hello at my blog (link in signature below).

Here are some interesting trends I notice lately in the WebMaster biz:

The rise of "Social Networking" and "Meta-Social" services like coComment.com
Hosting is dieing. Not the service (people still need a place to do their business online) -- the concept. Clients do not care about getting thousands of emails, a huge amount of disk space, etc. They just want an easy way to get up and running online. They just want their website.
Content Management Systems will replace "old-school" websites soon -- their advantages will make individually built web pages with HTML a thing of the past.
Say Goodbye to straight HTML -- XHTML (and XML) are taking over.

I will enjoy your discussion on these points.

Best regards -
Scott
