In switching my DC event number from "almost 20" to "almost 15" it ended up as 50 last week - we had a great turn out of 15 people or was that 50 million, yeah 50 million. :-) ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Subject: greetings and need for advice To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date sent: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 12:40:44 +0300 Dear All, i am writing to you from a strategic communications consultancy firm in turkey. One of my clients is a leading it company here in turkey and is currently handling the issue of the promotion of a digital government in turkey. other than carrying out concrete projects (such as making the social security sytem and national health services digital) in cooperation with the government, my client is also carrying out projects to acknowledge the public on this issue. one of the tools we are using is a web site, which you can visit at the adreess : http://www.dijitaldevlet.com this website is now going to be redesigned both in content and in appereance. i know i am taking up your valuable time, however, i must tell you that i am in fact desperate for some good ideas. currently the web site broadcasts news from turkish press on digital gevernment, digital economy, digital democracy etc. (the news you will see now is really out of date but negotiations with the media tracking agency have been completed and soon the news will be fully up to date). my client has held two pannel discussions on the matter with leading names in their areas and the comments of those are also in the website. there are links to other relevant websites world wide, but i still am not content with the out come. i am continiously searching the web for new ideas (and getting quite frustrated actually) as you would imagine this takes a lot of time and and as you may already know the economic situation in turkey right now is very fluctuant so i also need to work on daily issues too. after boring you to death with my problems (i hope you have read up to here) i am asking you al if you would be so kind as to send me any suggestions you might have to help me develop this web site. in return i can only offer you my thanx and grattitude and a link to your web site (if you have one that is!!!). i promise no more long e-mails. thank you all for your interest.....hope to hear from you soon.
