DNN nuke
This is built on ASP .NET and is sort of like an intranet in a box.. with ability to add 3rd party modules to add functionality. It has the ability to let non-experienced users update the web site whether public or intranet and manage permissions on who can view what.
It has its good and bad points.
If you know how to program you can many times do things custom for the same amount of time as you can researching modules, installing them, testing them and configuring them for the purpose you have in mind.
Users can update the site, but they can still mess things up and make it look amateurish.
Designers won't like it much since they are either very limited or need a programmer to help them put their custom design into the DNN format of the look and feel, when they call a skin.

Social media revolution
Excellent video on social media..puts it in perspective for the client.
in reference to: The Web Site Guy: Social Media Video (view on Google Sidewiki)Google Sidewiki
You have to install Sidewiki.. then you can go to any web site and make a comment about the page.. it is like a post it note on the page that other users of sidewiki see when they go to that site. This is like having a bulletin board on every site on the whole internet.. this is going to really make an impact. Now we don't just read web pages, we read them and make and read comments from others as well.

facebook is great for doctors
The medical industry resists change but Facebook is great for doctors.
Some stay away concerned about liability, but this is a classic aversion to something they don't understand.
ANYTHING that you ever write on a computer needs to be thought out and something that should not be able to cause you issues of liability. If you wouldn't put it in a letter to a patient, you don't put it on Facebook. Problem solved.
Facebook can be good for reinforcing your brand, just keeping you out in front of the customer. It can be great since things posted CORRECTLY in Facebook can end up in the search engines. Facebook is also a way of doctors making it easy for patients to refer them to their friends.
Doctors need to get on Facebook.
