The biggest thing we will look at is how the interfaces between hardware and software affect the use of a website. Our effort is to bring the impact into a clearer picture for the end users and their clients.
As we talk with clients it become apparent that many of the technologies that we take for granted are foreign to them and as a result they place a lot of trust into their web designers to provide the right tools for their website. On the other hand, they want technology put into their site for various reasons, unaware of what the cost will be to keep it up and active.

One key point about Internet Wisdom is its effort to provide ideas and approaches inthe use social media tools like Blogs, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn or even basic items like calendars or pictures. Website owners want their site to be alive and vibrant but are not sure what that means in the way of time and energy.
