Heres an insight into the mind sets of larger organisations and how they deal with this new fangled social media malarky.

There's some good points raised, and a lot of the lessons are very similar or have already been learnt by smaller businesses. Maybe some of these social media seminar organisers should come and have a look at us lot first

It's good to see Dilbert is still used as a barometer of corporate land frustration

Joining Dots: An Imperfect Business

I knew there had to be some advantage to being Middleaged, other than falling asleep after 3 pints

In the UK, we are about to hit a series of bank Holidays, thanks to the festival of chocolate eggs and bunnies, some couple getting wed and a bunch of dodgy dancers skipping round a maypole.

So is it all doom and gloom for small business, with reduced sales, expensive staff on paid holiday, or is it a good excuse to have a break?

I suspect a lot of it depends if you have employees, if it is just yourself or if you work in the tourist industry!

What does anyone else think?

We traded in the missus's A3 recently, that looked pretty sporty and did a million miles to the gallon. Was the last of the older VW/Audi 1.9TDI's which is a superb engine. Pokey in a smaller car and pretty economical.

Maybe an older A3. Although similar size physically, boots a lot smaller than the golf, so depends what's important.

Hmm, wonder what the actual outcome was of this? Their news page is unchanged from yesterday.

Business Forums do provide an element of mentoring, obviously advice is taken at face value, but its free and convenient. I'm not sure how a new business could justify a

I agree, it looks like a wannabe "like" button, but as you say it's currently in the wrong place.

Interesting though, I said a while ago that I could see "likes" becoming a major factor in algorithm signals, as it's got to carry more weight than the current currency of links, which lets be honest, is easily manipulated.

Obviously, likes will also get over manipulated, so be interesting to see where Googles thought patterns are going with this, 1 x +1 per account, maybe email activation. SERP demotion if you are caught abusing it?

Hmmm. scurries off and gets ready to plaster +1 buttons all over the place.....

As long as you have lots of business meetings, so its worth it

Personally sounds like gadget justification

If an iPad or similar can replace everything you do day to day on your current laptop, then get one. But unless you're a web developer or in that creative mindset, I don't think they aren't really a direct comparison with a desktop pc/laptop replacement as a 100% office business tool.
