Allow me to be one of the first to record a vote for Sallie Goetsch (rhymes with Sketch) as FIR’s newest Monday correspondent. While she may not be as funny as Lee (debatable) she is definitely easier on the ear! Sorry, Lee. <G>

Posted by Carmen Van Kerckhove on 03/27 at 09:33 AMCraig and Carmen cast their votes…sounds like a mandate!
Posted by Shel Holtz on 03/27 at 01:26 PMCongratulations Sally and thanks for continuing the discussion about ghostwriting. I appreciated your audio commentary on this subject.
This week’s contribution from David Phillips and his students was awesome. I agree with David. The student’s questions are VERY relevant to the questions surrounding the adoption of social media within large organizations. I feel compelled to take on each one right now. On second thought, this is going to take some time. I’m looking forward to hearing what FIR listenrs have to say.
