    Great post. Some folks have found two of my recent articles helpful in both explaining what these social media tools are and why they're necessary for business. I hope they help!

    Do you consider me one of those "half-timers"? Or maybe a "half-wit"? Let's see........if I'm a half-timer, I really would have to live another approximately 29 years and still be working. Hmmm?

    To carry on the sports analogy, you're at the "two minute warning." There's still time to try new plays and implement new strategies before the game, your career, is over.

    This a very interesting area. As a software engineer working on the backend of this world IE databases I felt I needed to get my head round this area I bought the book Web 2.0 heroes by Bradley Jones, when I discovered it having a wander round Foyles in London. Which lead me to Stumbler Upon and having time ended here. How do you explain web 2.0 to the half way generation, which I am a member, I feel by practical example. How can it directly help them. Loads of my fellow workers are on Linked in, but I would guess 90% have no idea of its potential power. I didn't until I read the book above. I suspect the main reason people don't dig into this area is time.

    Does this help the disucssion? I doubt it but I an going to have a think about it and introduce a few people to the area and see where it goes..I'll come back and report.

    Thanks Rich,

    We're preparing for Tropical Storm Fay, but I'll come back and reply better to your good thoughts once it stops raining.

    Rich,

    Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. Tropical Storm Fay really did a number on our home and we're still in the midst of repairs. I'm hoping to be back at this blog regularly in about two more weeks.
