This years summer proto(http://www.proto.in/proto2007se/files/Proto.in_SE_07_Agenda.pdf
) event is happening at iit madras campus on 21st & 22nd July; its a much awaited fan fare of all aspiring to succesful enterprenuers and venture capitalist coming under same roof for experience sharing, giving away expert tips and most important Networking.
Most of chief strategists of Sun,Apple, Oracle have cried out Network is future of Coumpter and Applications during 90's; buzzword of 21st century is Professional Networking then be it orkut, linkedin, facebook to n no of forums on net; core is Networking; collaborating contributing and creating.
Very exchange of ideas and thoughts are at base of many new products and services. Areas which really interest me are Market Resarch, Education for everyOne, Human Resource Development and online entertainment.
Those who follow Web may have started getting hints that Web 3.0 will soon start taking baby steps as 2.0 is already at its peak.
Get Networked Get Productive
