Steinke: Web 2.0 Apps Can Save Cash

Dale Steinke, the interactive news and operations manager at KING5.com and NWCN.com in Seattle, said that "Web 2.0 solutions" for news Web sites can be cost-effective when compared to the "yikes" factor of commercial software prices.

He touted the $30 video format converter Videozilla and the $50 Harris Inscriber, which is used for video graphics and titles.

Steinke said he uses online service sites such as yousendit and sendthisfile to manage large files and a product called Basecamp from 37signals.com for project management, instead of Microsoft Project.

"I really encourage you to go shoot some video and just use it," he said.
