A Rising Tide Raises All Ships – Don't Let Social Media Sink You
October 8th, 2009
No Comments
In times of plenty we’re all quick to share our knowledge, information and surplus with those around us, but as times of famine (aka – recession) draw upon us, we hoard our knowledge and use it as a bargaining tool, a method of separating ourselves from others and a way to intimidate the competition.
