Are we ever going to use this stuff?

This is a post by the World Wide Media Director at HP, Scott Berg who answers a question that I receive a lot when in comes to New Media & the 2.0 world “are we ever going to use this stuff?”  The answer is simple, short & to the point…just my style!

The value of new media/social media/2.0…the internet in general is HUGE.  When companies realize that they HAVE to use this new technology, they might go kicking & screaming.  But after some education & insight, they will soon get it.

 

My new “one of my favorites”…

I have added a new person to the Blogroll.

Welcome Michael Brito of Britopian.com. 

I have been following him on Twitter for a while now, and it’s always nice to put a blog to a Twitter…and he has some great views & some great commenters that have some valuable info to add.

MPC Community Update

Well our site is 89% there!  We need to launch it internally first (goal: Friday 5/23/08) tweak it, mold it, learn it & then we would like to release it to our initial test group of customers by the end of June.

The site is very “thin”, as per the suggestion of Lithium.  I initially had it stacked w/layers of categories, threads & questions to get the customer “started”…but they said the best model is to have it very raw and let it take it’s direction from the users, the customers.

I am very anxious for the educational opportunities internally to help spread the Social Media love with an actual example!  My last education on the site (see link to slideshare.com) I had some great response & enthusiasm mostly from the folder of “it’s about time”.
