Reflections
• Are there any points you’d like to discuss further or would like further clarification about?
• How would you know if you’ve achieved the aims of your project?
Do you have a great Web 2.0 project going on?
If so, why not contribute to a forthcoming ebook of project ideas?
The 1st edition of the book has been downloaded nearly 12,000 times in the past year!
The online form will take just a few minutes to complete.
Others benefit from reading about your project.
You benefit from reading about others’ ideas, and publicising your own!
Specially extended deadline: 30 November 2009

What works
If the website at the URL is quite extensive, it would be really helpful if you could drill down to a specific area or even page
that visitors go to as a starting point.
The URL should be one that anyone can access.
A focus on what the users did, and how they benefitted, not
the application.
An interesting idea
Submitting something!
