- CoverItLive for hosting live online discussions and Q&As

- Overviews and tutorials for using Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook for business purposes

solved by grants, charity..etc

that can’t be solved via Copy & Paste projects
• Lack of social incubators give MEK a
tremendous advantage for being a pioneer in the
market.
