"Since that first day back in 2006, when I realized the opportunities that social media presented me, my company, and my government, I have evolved from an opportunist to a leader (I hope!), and I can only hope that I’ll continue to evolve in the years ahead. Here are the seven evolutionary stages that I went through as a social media evangelist – I’m interested in hearing if you find yourself going through a similar evolution, or if you skipped a few steps and went straight from an amoeba to advanced human "

Very well described. I think I'm in a combination of 4, 6, and a little 7--trending out of 4, slowly.

"Moving to the cloud is becoming an increasingly popular and cheap option for many companies. Most office suites such as Zoho, Buzzword and Google Docs provide many of the necessary features for day by day business. The problem with all these services is that the data and the service itself is out of your control, so if something goes wrong you are stuck until someone on the other end fixes the issue. This has put doubt in many companies’ minds about depending on the cloud for their documents. Opengoo lets companies reach a happy medium."

Great idea. I really doubt we'll see Google fully embraced from an enterprise perspective until they have something better Corporations can install in their own environments and own full control over. You can only partially do that now. Google only fits the small business and individual user at the moment, and it may stay that way.

My experience has shown me that the larger the company the more they don't want information outside of their four walls. Bigger means more control issues :)

Holden, I know they provide search appliances in that manner. It's still not open enough a solution though. I'm not a big fan of "black box" solutions in corporate environments.

I guess because FriendFeed and Facebook poll Twitter for read/writes, they are both suffering (sort of what happens when Amazon S3 goes down)

I'm so angry, my friend Joel signed up the same day I did, and got an account and I didn't! LOL

The great masses will get their end of September. There were 20,000 going out between about 2 weeks ago and then. (so don't feel so bad, as of 2 weeks ago, only 6,000 accounts ha been handed out. I must have gotten mine on the first day or two of the 20k round)

@guru sent you a wave but have gotten no love from you :(
- Jorge Escobar
lol - I have been on a chat and haven't been able to look. ;)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Hm. Do you mean good luck to Twitter or good luck to the attack? (unclear) :)
- Louis Gray
True that LG. Good luck, Twitter team! (I never root for the DOS'ers, been under those meself)

I blame Scoble. It's one of the people he unfollowed getting revenge :)
- Ian Betteridge
Scoble is the most likely cause of a site going down if he said something about it. Sooooo.....
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I thought the new trend was to Blame Drew's Cancer and not Scoble anymore. :)
- Daynah
Daynah: I think we can safely Blame Drew's Cancer for the attack, but have to blame Robert for Twitter actually going down.
