Twitter and my job.

I receive lots of vendor briefing requests, some relevant to my work, and others not.  This one links to my research on privacy and HR technology, so I’m listening to it this evening. But what made me blog this today was IBM’s use of Twitter and the hashtag. Twitter is in the enterprise. How are you using it?

This post is also a subtle apology to Jeff Mann.  I  forgot to peer review his note on  Four Ways in Which Enterprises are Using Twitter,

The popularity of the Twitter micro-blogging platform has soared during the past several months. While Twitter is primarily a consumer phenomenon, Gartner has identified four primary ways that enterprises are using Twitter, but one of them is not recommended.  

Sorry Jeff.

    That’s OK, Thomas. A plug is as good as a review.
