		<description>I work for the Dept. of Employment at the State of Minnesota.  I am charged with creating a presentation for my co-workers (20-25 people) on one of the seven habits of highly effective people:  synergize, and I would like permission to use part of this article within my presentation.   From my perspective, trust is the key component to synergy and consequently to the presentation.  I would appreciate it very much.  Sincerely, Kim </description>

		<description>Corporate social media policies need to have a better understanding of the fact that personal and work life are blurred. I think many companies are still afraid to acknowledge this shift. This is a fantastic article. </description>

		<title>Comment on Swine Flu, Susan Boyle And The Network Multiplier Effect by George Benckenstein</title>

		<description>I would agree with you in a general sense.  Which is why viruses and messages have a lifespan.  And if involvement is only to push out &quot;talkiing points&quot; then your network really isn&#039;t supporting a bi-directional conversation.  This happens in real life as well.  We all have friendships that wane for whatever reason.  Apply this to networks, you will have people entering and exiting your ecosystem all the time.  Real conversation as opposed to &quot;talking points&quot; has the potential to multiply unfettered.  This does not minimize that the need to reinvent ever stops or that relationships of any source don&#039;t have a lifetime.  But remember that wherever there is death, there is a rebirth in any ecosystem creating a continuum with no bounds (theoretically that is). </description>

		<description>I am sorry my previous post was not focused.  I agree with a reduction due to spam.  With parasitic spam a constant component, the system evolves &quot;natural&quot; coping mechanisms.  Although unlikely, the coping mechanisms can become insufficient.  In the long term,  the networking paradigm becomes &quot;tired&quot;;  loses viability in the demands of a quotidian environment.   Nonetheless, viral affective potential matures and becomes honed in a more restricted application.  </description>
