Free and complete guide on the use of Web 2.0
One member of the International Business Centre Network Centre’s, export segment has shared with us a guide that summarizes the main tools and web strategies that can be beneficial for businesses. This guide was written by SIMAWAY, a French consulting firm, under the Étoile + project and put forward by the European community and various organizations in northern France and Wallonia (Belgium).
To interested parties, the same firm, also in the Étoile + project, also published in fall 2007, a guide explaining in detail the seven of the most popular web marketing strategies. The guide presents the characteristics of each strategy, the advantages and disadvantages, with some recommendations on how best to use them. This guide is available free via download here, but this time you must register to get it.

At the beginning of 2010, I am pleased to announce the launch of WEB2BIZ, a new networking opportunity for company owners, business people and professionals who would like to share their experiences, passion and skills on local and international Web business development.
You are invited to this event to learn how to achieve your business goals through the use of Web applications, on Wednesday February 17, 2010 at Carrefour Multisports in Laval.
