Earlier this year a friend of mine, Allen Miller, hosted a roundtable meeting in Cincinnati and invited several Microsoft Small Business Specialists from the Cincinnati Networking Professionals’ Association (CiNPA) and Kentucky Small Business Server User Group (KYSBSUG) to attend.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the feasibility of creating a technical Q&A website for local small business owners, and to staff that website with local Microsoft Small Business Specialists. Everyone agreed that this project could provide significant value to the community, and Allen went to work building the site.
So, today I’m happy to report the news is out and the new website is officially live: http://www.smallbusinessspecialist.org
