Demo of the McKinney Site

March 9th, 2009 Jonathan Piscitelli

Thomas Krotkiewski walks us through some of the useful and cutting edge features of the new McKinney site. We start with a brief introduction of how to use the dialogue box, followed by a demo of how the site can print page content. Then Thomas shows us how the site can be viewed on multiple browsers (including mobile), and how the site’s content, even though it’s flash based,  can be indexed by Google. From here Thomas takes us on a tour of some of the really cool features of the site; like the cloud view, the conversation engine and the semantic aspects of the site.

Interview with Thomas from Othersource (The Company that developed the new McKinney Site)

March 4th, 2009 Jonathan Piscitelli

The first episode of the AD2 Charlotte Podcast is now up. (You can download it from the site  straight into I-tunes and take it with you). In this episode, I’m speaking  with Thomas Krotkiewski, of Othersource, the company that developed the new McKinney website. This site is being heralded as one of the first Web 3.0 sites because you can actually interact with it, ask it questions, etc. The site was unveiled in February and was ranked among Creativity’s Top Ten for that week. This podcast is pure audio, the interview was conducted via Skype due to the fact that Thomas was in Boston when we spoke. You gotta love the freedom and flexibility of new media. It’s a beautiful thing.  There will be a short video showcasing some of the new features of the  McKinney site coming out later this week. And look for future Ad2 Podcasts to be much more video based.
