But it works incredibly well. @Kimota: Wow! That's really excellent -- and the fact you've been given that freedom to evolve and adapt is a big step forward. Keep it up.

Daily monitoring of mentions across the web, responding where appropriate, running the blogs, writing magazine articles, generaly producing all external communications and social media conversations. It's quite a rewarding role and allows us to present a far more open and consistent presence but it's a far cry from my original hjob description. It has evolved organically over the year as I have demonstrated the power of blogging and social media, dispelled management myths and demonstrated how simple interaction promotes a strong, positive response. God, I love my job! In my company, I’m that person.

I've read that some successful business people have created their own 'business' within the business..treating their work as if they owned the company. This is ideal but needs to be more common.

Some very interesting points -- especially around the FD traffic: anywhere we can find out more about that traffic? Hopefully they'll get some good feedback about how to improve what they're doing. Thanks, Ben.

The Australian office of about 80 would have been a great sample size however the early adopters are much fewer. Oh well, guess it's up to EA's like me and you to get the ball rolling hehe Well interestingly enough CBS has obviously 000’s of potentials but I’ve noticed the activity is still quite small.

Finally I might actually be able to use it! Obviously it's hard to even consider using Yammer for a small project when there's potentially the other 7,000 staff of the Department participating.
