Social companies hire community managers. ”

A little bit of inane drivel makes the day go by quite nicely.

If we could all just hug it out and then get down to business, be it ‘business’ business or charity business etc, that is the next step. The minute ‘social media’ gets listed as a religion on the Census is when things have gone too far.

It’s often scary, and the immediacy of it all keeps me on my toes, sometimes even playing catch-up, but I love the fact I can feel connected to so many professionals and the fact that geographical boundaries become meaningless!

I also love that I can connect with random folk of like minds via Twitter and have humourous coversations while I work – it brightens up the day and restores my faith in humanity.

Nice blog, James :)
