On deck for our May 6th event:
LinkedIn – the pioneer and premier social network for business professionals. LinkedIn’s unique approach enables contact with any network member or networked connection, and builds trust and interaction among the service’s users. Learn more about how to get the most out of this essential business tool, the trends in the Web 2.0, social media, and social networking. Scott Roberts
Spare Change – while advertising revenues have been disappointingly low for most web applications, another option developers are increasingly turning towards is micropayments for virtual goods or premium features. A year after launch, more than 700 apps across Facebook, MySpace, and Bebo use Spare Change for micropayments. Spare Change is processing $2.5 million a month in micropayments, which is a $30 million annual run-rate. Mark Rose
UserVoice.com – the pride & joy of Santa Cruz tech startups and shining star, UserVoice is the fastest way to turn feedback into innovation. Improve your site or product with the bright ideas from your customers. UserVoice is currently powering both web startups and companies from the Fortune 500. Richard White
UCSC Business Plan Contest – UCSC is stimulating entrepreneurial activity by conducting a business plan competition for students. Entrants have a chance to win $15,000 in prizes. Three teams from the “final six” will present rapid fire (2 minutes each) their plans to our members, for feedback and mentoring.
