This article is focused on Blogging, there are several other aspects of social media, including twittering, different online PM tools, etc…

As a Project Manager, I acknowledge and I appreciate social media as an excellent tool for communication (Project Management is 90% communication).

Yes Becky…I also would like to know why it is important to have an active blog. Is this due to the fact that Google likes fresh content?

Very good point about the comfort zone. It’s easy to become insulated, especially if you’re a small business. There’s much to be learned from competitors, that’s for sure!

Thanks Glenn
Yes, Becky is the real deal. Down to earth with a great sense of humour and practical insight into how small business works. You could drop her into an Aussie bush town and she would be right at home there too.
