'Times are tough. We all feel it. Friends have been laid off. The economic climate is still uncertain and growth is slow. Too many companies have changed from dynamic places where people shared opinions to stagnant organizations where people are afraid to say what they really think. And the worst thing?

'When pioneer social media tools such as Facebook and LinkedIn first became available, they weren’t all that ''social'' by today’s standards. Early adopters were people who wanted to network with others like themselves and you could only connect with friends or colleagues who accepted you. Blogs were more social because they enabled people outside of one''s immediate network to read, comment and join the discussion.
