This article appeared in monthly Techno Biz Magazine
Use of social media applications is being debated across the World Wide Web. Fans support the usage of tools like Blog, tweet, Facebook to break down barriers between businesses, public servants and ordinary people to discuss ideas and gather feedback. Trend watchers and analysts still see the social media tools as time wasting diversions. It is in this milieu that in the attention age, we need to look at the fast growing social media usage in our own, still low tech, corporate and public sectors.
