Blogging such a simple word with so many perceived meanings. The purpose here is for our employees to share their expressions, ideas, feelings, or thoughts at a specific time, on a topic that extends beyond their inner circle.

With the incredible access to unfiltered information, profound quotes by seemingly very important people, and prepackaged off the shelf products that use hype terminology as their feature check list, it is becoming harder and harder for people “not in the business” to separate what is important and what is fluff.
