Living in Howell is an interesting new part of my life. It is very different from Ann Arbor. In Ann Arbor, I am very used to a bustling city town. There are shops everywhere, and there is a lot going on. Howell is geographically different. The shops are more spread out, and the people are consequently more reserved. Although Ann Arbor is a unique place.
In my business, doing web design, it is not quite the business hub that I am used to. If I had started my business building and marketing web sites for a living in Howell, it would have been much more challenging.
I still get out to Ann Arbor pretty regularly. I have to. I love it there!

Web 2.0
Ted Apostoleris facebook. The bursting of the dot-com bubble in the fall of 2001 marked a turning point for the web. Many people concluded that the web was overhyped, when in fact bubbles and consequent shakeouts appear to be a common feature of all technological revolutions. Shakeouts typically mark the point at which an ascendant technology is ready to take its place at center stage. The pretenders are given the bum's rush, the real success stories show their strength, and there begins to be an understanding of what separates one from the other.
Ted Apostoleris. The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP, noted that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What's more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as "Web 2.0" might make sense? Ted Apostoleris agreed that it did, and so the Web 2.0 Conference was born.
Ted Apostoleris. In the year and a half since, the term "Web 2.0" has clearly taken hold, with more than 9.5 million citations in Google. But there's still a huge amount of disagreement about just what Web 2.0 means, with some people decrying it as a meaningless marketing buzzword, and others accepting it as the new conventional wisdom.

Quote
"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intellingent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ted Apostoleris
This is my blog of all sorts.
I have been a professional web designer and developer for around 8 years. I first began tooling around with creating websites when I was 14.
After successfully creating websites, my interest quickly grew and I became much more interested in the vitality of the search engine's to drive traffic for businesses, and their ability to form social networks.
I have worked for companies as successful as the well known Michigan brand, Cottage Inn Pizza, the national Borders Books, and in Ann Arbor the renowned and traditional Bivouac, a staple of U of M fashion and outdoor gear in Ann Arbor.
When I make websites, I don't hamper you down with jargon. It is quite simple. I make websites that look good, are easy to use, and accomplish their goals.
My greatest endeavor is to help my clients understand the process. I have a website live at http://www.tedapostoleris.com, as well as Ted Apostoleris, which also have information about me.
