Today is the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square ‘incident and several high profile Internet sites have been blocked in mainland China. These include Twitter.com, Flickr.com, Live.com, and Bing.com… That is what I would call a heavy-handed censorship…….. And it also clearly demonstrates the power of social media, and the power of the internet. My thoughts are for this mysterious man and all the people who suffered that day in 1989.

B2B and B2C … OK but I think let’s move on and concentrate what really matters today : C2C – Cos that is what social media is all about right… C2C

Today is the day… that I am committing myself to ……look after my blog ! This blog in fact… Since I joined IBM WW Web Marketing organisation, led by Gina Poole, our WW VP Social Software, I haven’t had time to look after my blog… And this is bad… really bad, cos this is what I do : Preaching, evangelising the use of software… and guess what. here I am thinking I have no time for my blog…. So, that is it. I am not NOT writing on my blog anymore. I started my new role as WW Social Media Marketing Manager WW IBM SWG since October last year and I love every minute of it. I feel that I simply have the best job in the world !! Anyway… so, watch this space and more to come ! I will try to make my blog insightful and useful and fun too ! And here is a personal message to my darling James bond who is training in NYC and that I am missing enormously…. but the positive side of it, is for my blog. I managed to get some time back this week while he’s away to go back to my writing. He will be pleased to hear it ! even to read it !
