Is your enterprise ready for Rich Media? Lynda Brown provides the IX conference a curtain raising speech, she provides a fantastic overview of how social media is impacting the enterprise. I like her point that ther are many identities being mashed into one.

What is rich media? It’s Responsive, Interactive, Content that Helps. Brilliant!

Mike also showed the rich functionality of Scrapblog
