I'm looking forward to the discussion this afternoon! We've been trying to define this particular role- competitive intelligence- and look forward to some new insights.

I missed the Tuesday chat, any chance I could get a summary? I'm curious about what people thought. I am always trying to get the HR folks I work with to get more involved in the technology including social media. It's always like pulling teeth...

Jason - We do have the transcripts from Tues and I hope to have it up later today - it was a great discussion. There isn't an easy way to capture and format the chat stream. I'd appreciate your feedback after its posted to see how easy it is to read through and if it would be something we should try and post regularly.

Looking forward to you joining us later today for Suzy and what should be an active dialogues around competitive intelligence! Cheers! Susan
