                        . .       Everyone’s Using it



                                                          .
                                                          Not sure how to use for my job




                                                                  .
COOL FACTOR



                                                                   It’s just a time sink



              .
                        My CEO read about this
                        This thing on the airplane




                                                                       .
                  I read about this thing on
                  on this blog, looks interesting



                                                        Maybe the next thing is better




              WHY DID I THINK THIS WOULD WORK?
……the world is becoming too fast,
 too complex and too networked
 for any company to have all the
 answers inside.
