Thank you to everyone who submitted an article to share with the community. We greatly appreciate your input and will start collecting these regularly to help spread the word about interesting conversations happening around the world.
One social media tool that I consider a must-have is eCairn (www.ecairn.com). I explain on my blog (http://bizcoach.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-brands-and-their-evangelists-should.html) how companies should use it to track their work with the blogosphere. Maybe you will like it too…
