How to think out of the 2.0 box
The future is orange
A Demos report (funded by Orange) published today 29 October argues that social networking sites could help companies beat the recession (report pdf).

Social Media vs. Knowledge Management: A Generational War

Facebook for suits?
Instructions for the pefect online community strategy review:
First read recent Economist piece titled ‘Facebook for suits’.
Then consider the risks involved in setting up an online community (many will fail).
Finally, reflect on why community/social networking sites are missing their mark (mark to market, pun intended).
