On the topic of best practices, I must admit I've never quite liked the concept. I think far too many use best practices as a way of identifying the end goal – where they’d like to get to, etc. And, in that sense, best practices can be very limiting leaving very little room for the creativity and innovation that drives genuine progress. (That’s not to say we cannot learn a thing or two from what has already been done of course.) On the social media front, this is still very early days. I’m hopeful that 99% of the innovation in this space is still in front of us…. we live in interesting times to be sure. Cheers, cp http://pirie.typepad.com Thank you for the kind mention.
