- Why social software won't dethrone the incumbents
- It's not often I find myself fundamentally disagreeing with Sam Lawrence. He's a smart guy with a great marketing head. But on this post he's over-reaching in my opinion. His basic argument says this: The big IT vendors aren't taking social software seriously. They can't. Not even if they...
