Business Two Zero

Probably the main reason I’ve been inactive on this blog for a while has been because of my involvement in ITBRix, the launch of WordFrame, as well as a major WordFrame project.

By now you will have heard that Cisco entered an agreement to buy web conferencing and collaboration software company Webex yesterday for $3.2 billion.

Euan Semple came along to the recent London Wiki Wednesday. He related some of his experiences about starting social media at the BBC.

I’ve been asked to write an article on Wikis for the National Business 2 Business Centre in Warwick, so I thought it was about time I wrote BTZ’s insider’s guide to wikis, which you will now find on the site resources in the left column.  I’m really keen on the wiki concept.  We’ve been using […]
