I’ve just written my last post for the IIA blog - it’s about social networking services. My two weeks of guest blogging are up, and hopefully someone (apart from me!) has learned something 
Many thanks to Fergal O’Byrne at the IIA for the opportunity of a larger audience…

Your IIA musings are at least five times longer than Cloudland writings so I wasn’t sure who I was reading when all the social networking stuff started scrolling into my newsreader. Hefty and good stuff.
