I found a handful of interesting links this morning from my Google Alerts I thought I would share, all having to do with social media and how it is playing a big part in today’s world.
The following article does a fine job explaining how social media played a large role in the latest presidential election, written by Brian Solis of kNow Media. - http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/11/15/is-obama-ready-to-be-a-two-way-president/
The next article is an interview with David van Toor, the senior vice president and general manager of Sage CRM Relevant Products/Services Solutions North America. He gives several insights into how Sage is starting to integrate social media into customer relationship management. (Shameless plug: if you are looking for a CRM system for your business, check out SugarCRM) - http://www.toptechnews.com/story.xhtml?story_id=1010035OTKKH
Lastly, a longer and less compelling read but interesting nonetheless, an article about the fight going on between the traditionalists and social media believers in the corporate world. The writer, Venkatesh Rao, goes on to conclude that social media will win in the long run. - http://www.socialcomputingmagazine.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=621
