Ask a few CTO type people. Or ask me Free Startup CTO Consulting Sessions. Tech Events / Meetups - There are lots of Networking Events in Los Angeles and Southern California that are techie oriented.

The way it works, is you go to our site, find the product through either search, a dropdown menu, or filters, and you can find the products you want. I owned and ran my own search marketing company, and started and ran a digital consulting company. Todd introduced me to Andrew, and Andrew is now our CTO.

Visible networking is turning into a really great opportunity to get to know people better, get to meet new people, and have some interesting conversations.

The firm used to be called Fotouhi Alonso and were one of LA's top mid-sized agencies for 20 years, working with clients like Honda, Epson, the LA DWP, and the FX Network.

Fake Site - you can have what looks to be a real site, even take "orders" but not actually have anything able to run it. Leverage Existing Platforms or Third Party Products - you want to test your social network, grab Drupal and whip something together, or even just use a hosted service.

Background This post partly really came about as a result of a great conversation yesterday with David Croslin a former CTO at HP who recently conducted an interesting experiment.

It’s well documented that response time has significant business impact: An ecommerce site that makes $100,000 per day could lose up to $2.5 Google told us back in 2010 that site speed was important for SEO.

I did a presentation about the use of Social Media to a great group of people who mostly are different kinds of service professionals (attorneys, accountants, consultants, etc.).

I decided that I was going to consult/advise a few companies and relax for a bit. I setup a nice little home office for myself and started dabbling with a few ideas. I started an incubator/holdings company called Addante and Associates to be the umbrella company for my ideas and consulting projects. So much for resting!
