I cannot stop myself from writing this specific message for you to because I am becoming frustrated that organizations are moving so slowly on this subject. I have been asked to speak to quite a few audiences lately about social media and how it can be used by organizations to [...]
I am not sure if you would have seen the press releases on a new service Google is going to offer later this year, so I though it might be helpful to at least mention it. Google Wave is a new platform that Google will provide as an open source [...]
