Katrina, I'm getting a group together to discuss Health 2.0. We'll meet in one of the Web2Open rooms on the 2nd floor. I'm trying to get one of the Thursday morning slots. More info at http://webexsf2008.crowdvin...

Hello Katrina, was just reading over your bio and realized--hey, used to be a writer and editor, worked for online magazines, sounds like me and someone I should talk to!

Katrina Alcorn:

Hi Ritika,
Yeah, "site face lift" sounds so simple, but can be such a bear. We should meet at the conference and talk about your project. I should be there for most of it -- I'll keep an eye out for you.

Ritika Kharbanda:

Hi,

Really interesting background. I work for a social networking company and found your current work very interesting. Specially so as our company is going through a site face lift and how complicated a process it is to come up with a site that has a simple and neat look/navigation.
