Today in the TenSpot, we're talking about tactics for building a website that wins. Buying or building a website can be compared to choosing a car. Whether you budget for an $850 junker, an economical hybrid, or a high performance race car, the success of your purchase depends on your goals. If you are looking for a website that wins, this panel discussion is for you.

Today in the TenSpot, we are taking Agile to a new level. Members of our staff recently underwent ScrumMaster and Product Owner training with Certified ScrumMaster extraordinaire Mike Cohn.

Cohn is a leading Agilist, having been involved with the process on an executive level since 1995. He has authored three books and led Scrum conferences and events around the world.

Site performance is one of those oft overlooked components of a website that's more important then many think. In the scope of a web design project, typical requests tend to focus on looks and functionality. Rarely do conversations turn to requests for streamlined performance.

This week, the team takes their best stab at Nostradamus impressions, as we attempt to predict the future for Drupal in 2010. Joining us on this podcast are Rachel Scott, Chris Sloan, Dustin Currie, and Tom McCracken.

There's a project management revolution going on today, and it goes by the name of Agile.

Agile project management methodologies are an alternative to traditional waterfall project management, which is the style of project management used in the majority of web development and design projects today.

Large companies like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, IBM, and Salesforce.com have already made the switch to Agile.

Why?

Let's be honest for a minute. As much as the Internet marketing industry talks about building community and participating in the conversation, most of us are in the game for one reason, and one reason only. We want to make money.

There are the select few who don't care about making money, and are truly happy with trying to change the world. But for 90% of us, that just isn't the case.

Contrary to popular belief, I say the best day of the week is Monday. Not Friday, not Thursday, and certainly not Saturday... Monday. Why is it my favorite day, you might ask? Because on Mondays, I get to review and edit our fantastic weekly podcasts. Sure, I usually know the topics ahead of time, and most days, I even participate in the podcasts, but in a world where yesterday's news may as well be last year's news, a refresher is always good.

This week's podcast features a collection of top minds in the Dallas area Interactive Marketing field. Guests on this week's panel include Eric Feitel and Nate Christman. Eric and Nate both work for TM Advertising in Dallas. Eric serves as TM's Creative Director and Nate as the Art Director.
