In this Small Business Trends Radio broadcast, host Anita Campbell interviews Charles Jolley, CEO of SproutIt, a Web 2.0 company.

In this engaging radio interview, Charles defines in plain English what Web 2.0 means. More than simply defining it, he explains why any small business owner, executive or entrepreneur should care about Web 2.0.

Web 2.0 means faster and better websites and web applications, sometimes at a fraction of the cost of other websites. He also points out how you have probably used some of the new Web 2.0 applications, whether you realized it or not. At the end of this interview you are likely to be thinking of ways to gain a competitive advantage by using Web 2.0 applications for your business.

As an added benefit for listeners, Charles has created an online information page of Web 2.0 resources for small businesses. Sproutit.com’s Web 2.0 Resources page can be found at SproutIt Resources.
