Best of the Business Internet – August 30th.

in Comment

The Internet gets fuller everyday with information and comment about business tools and business issues.  This week continues the trend and in this selection there’s more interesting news and comment you may, or may not agree with.

It’s my newsletter :-) so I’ll start with stuff I wrote about social media.  It’s actually a series in which I unpick the hype from all the self proclaimed gurus who want to coach you in how to do that stuff, and then go on to give examples of some real business benefits.

Here’s the series:
Why Social Media is a Complete Waste of Time
How Social Media is Changing Everything As It Dies
