With all the attention now surrounding Twitter, it seems that every brand and celebrity under the sun suddenly is or wants to be represented on it and every other social network. It seems as if the business world has finally read Cluetrain and wants to be in the bazaar engaging in the conversation.
But the fact [...]

There have been some very interesting blog posts this morning that essentially reflect on the seeming inability of parts of society to join us early adopters on the happy trail we’re blazing as we open our lives online, engage with each other and participate in a way that has never before been available to us [...]
