Horizon of Social Network Applications is expanding

Some crazy thoughts about Web 2.0

As Mike posted about “RSS in Plain English” , it reminded me of some of the conversations we have been having at work as we try to jump-start discussions surrounding our companies general approach to Web 2.0 (which includes a healthy dose of RSS). I spoke at internal round table last week about [...]

Where is wis.dm Webisode 2?
