I think there is a lack of debate because it reflects the whole lack of debate and interest in the oligopolies that we’ve allowed to dominate every sector. We Australians are completely lame when it comes to competition - or the lack of it - because we’ve had so little for so long and think that it is the norm, and also because most lack ambition anyway. None of our oligopolies would...

Twitter bios from marketing managers which #fail
Bio: Marketing manager at XXX. This is my personal account and is not endorsed by XXX nor does it constitute any official communication of XXX.
What’s your impression when you read this from a marketing manager at a firm selling social business software? Mine is - this person / company doesn’t get it, not credible.

My comment: Nicely written article, as usual. I don’t dispute the majority of the content but I do dispute the implication of parts of it and those parts are typified by the byline “When social tools go viral”. Although the thought of the rise of the employee-driven social network has a nice egalitarian ring to it, the fact is that 90% of such efforts do not go viral, they fail -...
