Weekend Insights #1

09-10-2009

It’s the end of week one for the Enliven The World blog, and I think things are going well. I will try to post on Monday and Wednesday, with a small post on Tuesday (call it a teaser if you want), with a wrap up on Friday containing links to interesting sites I have found. I need a day off and no one reads blogs on Thursdays anyway…

3. Another reminder that excellence in service is the best PR

4. Is Twitter actually becoming more useful? Some new apps are making a case for YES!
