How does one attract an audience? How does one start up a dialogue? An interaction? <br />Personally I'm doing my best, but the net does suck you into a big black hole of distractions and dead ends, particularly when you're not sure what it is you're trying to achieve. <br />Most of my time this year has been spent TRYING to get things like twitter to work succesfully. It certainly helps that the MA environment is one where a team is deliberately nurtured from the top down. .Richardhttp://www.richardboase.comnoreply@blogger.com
