Hi,
Suddenly - its fall, and time to get back to work. Not that we didn't work during the summer. It's just that fall, for most small businesses, is a much more important, busier and hectic season.   Fall is also the time for pumpkins, leaf peeping, and apple picking....oh, I mean... trade shows, conferences and conventions. No matter what's filling your calendar this season, this newsletter has a few things to help you save time.
 
Live traffic images in Hartford on your smartphone
avgTraveling in Hartford can be tricky, but a new free cell phone application with live video traffic updates is helping drivers steer clear of trouble spots.  New York-based 3rd Dimension Inc. has unveiled its real-time traffic reports in Hartford in a partnership with NBC 30. The application is downloaded to a mobile phone, and gives users access to 12 streaming cameras in the city and over 250 DOT cameras long I-84 and I-91. The free application generates its revenue from advertisements, which pop up each time a user accesses a different camera. The ads appear while the camera image loads, averaging between 2and 5 seconds. The application is compatible with 125 data-enabled phone models, including BlackBerry and the iPhone.  Go to the NBC 30 Connecticut Traffic Camera site to get the application or to learn more.
 
 
Are you LinkedIn yet?
 
linkedin
The mantra of all career counselors is to "build a network".  LinkedIn is based on the idea of six degrees of separation and allows you to build your network via introductions from your contacts and their contacts- and all of this online.  MySpace and Facebook are popular social networking sites that you've probably heard of, but the sites that focus solely on business are being used in record numbers.  LinkedIn is one such site, which currently reports having reached 27 million users at the beginning of September, and a new member joining every two seconds.  Are you LinkedIn yet?
