The real problem management have with social media's use internally in organisations is social media sidesteps management's monopolies of other functions in the organisation. Management would lose a considerable amount of power if people within an organisation were free to collaborate with each other openly.

With the emergence of some awesome open source free social networking software becoming readily available (http://warhammer.nubtub.com/), free thinking companies have the potential to try some funky shit to engage their staff. At my work, there is a massive battle vs facebook. GO ON FACEBOOK AND YOU ARE = FIRED KID. Directors should be thinking do the opposite, embrace social media and find some way to entwine it with the companies values. nice post, I like your point about organisations being a sum of the stories of all the people involved, and anything that will help people feel like ‘they belong’ should be pursued by the company.

We have just completed a 10 year study conducted by Otago University which investigated sustainability of continual harvest and they the research clearly shows they are being havested by us sustainably.. but the site is good ... Im also a PR practitioner of sorts... interesting site - i ended up here because I was cooking muttonbirds and was curious to see what recipes were on the net. anyway I am a muttonbirder and the bit about them being nearly threatened is bollocks.
