Do you love cupcakes? Groove on social networking? Don’t miss the next Sweets and Tweets on Nov. 17, 2009. I’ve invited the inimitable @cheeky_geeky (aka Mark Drapeau) to talk about social networking, the two dirtiest words in Government 2.0. Social networking on Facebook, Twitter, etc. is not about being social or frivolous or wasting time. Social networking can improve the process of government. Mark will talk about why social networking is
I’ve been writing about corporate and CEO blogging and business use of social media since 2003. I also use this blog as a whiteboard to work out my thinking on other subjects, such as Government 2.0 and Publishing 2.0. I welcome your Comments if they are on topic.
