It’s Social Media Week! Did you know? Ok, I’ll admit I didn’t either until it was pointed out to me. But there are some really interesting experiments going on this week around the topic ‘Social’. IBM is joining in and performing a Smarter Commerce Scan. An experiment where […]

You would think that getting in touch with people has become a whole lot easier since we’ve all become so ‘social’. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Connections, IM, chats, etc. You could even say that in some cases it’s hard NOT to. But still I find that really getting ‘in […]
