You've been keeping your projects on schedule and making sure your clients (internal or external) are happy. But you haven't had the time to keep your skills up-to-date, and your portfolio update has been on the back-burner for two years. And now you have to learn the newest scripting language? Designers should not have to become software engineers!

Flypaper is a new application to create, publish and track rich interactive, Flash-quality content for the Web-without programming. Flypaper allows creative professionals to focus on the design of an interactive user experience with compelling storylines and not debugging code. Use audio and visual media to engage your audience. Easily publish and propagate your finished content to the Web, including social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube. And, track who is watching your Story, where they are watching it and how long they watch it.

Making any last-minute changes is a breeze because you've empowered your clients with a quick and easy way to edit, share and collaborate on the project. Working with clients that have limited budgets or a production deadline that does not support a traditional project budget or scope is now also possible.

Flypaper Studio is a Phoenix-based start-up focused on changing the way people communicate on the Web. Anyone can download the free application from www.flypaper.com, and access a variety of Web-ready templates and sample content that can be customized and published to any Web site. Yes, the application is free.

Feel free to download the application from www.flypaper.com to take a look at it before the meeting.

The company will be providing drinks and pizza, so be sure to register so we get an accurate count.
