@tjlw what's up with Yamaha? Why don't they get social media? #mesh08 |
| seanmcdonald (47) May 22, 2008 |
it would be my advice to allow a transient audience, ease of membership... openid, open social, friend connect, etc... ease of use #mesh08 |
| jdee (14) May 22, 2008 |
@tjlw in a way, they dont really feel very open... they want total control over the online corporate image. #mesh08 |
