1. You have a voice!
(...but please remember: only very few people are
official spokesperson for the Group or its brands)
2. You can contribute!
(… by publishing a post on your blog, editing a wiki
article, raising a question on the ATM. But remember,
you are also responsible for all content you put up)
3. Be proud of your
company!
(...but be aware that "for internal use only" means you
shouldn't share this with your friends on Facebook)

“… a waste of time”
Think again: By connecting individuals to relevant
people, information and community workspaces, social
computing reduces the need to send messages and
attached files as email. Email storage costs $500 per
GB per year, and one Fortune 100 manufacturing
company calculated that a simple 2 percent reduction in
email volume could save $2.6 million per year. So, what
is really a waste of time?

“… just a fad”
Ok, just remember what Western Union thought in 1876
about a then new device: “This 'telephone' has too many
shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of
communication”.

"It is too difficult..."

from others. Just keep your eyes open.
