So many developments focus on the user experience (Which is correct), but then neglect to look at the Janitor roles, and the effect of overworked Janitors struggling with clunkier systems than the users in some cases.

It’s one reason why I’m taking my time to implement new systems at work, and making sure that they are as quick and easy to use from an admin perspective, as well as a user perspective.

Social media’s technical underbelly is often overlooked until something goes wrong and you get a call from client or executive. It sure is very messy in the middle.

Web 2.0 and social networking have become the newest buzzwords of the Internet marketing community. I have recently started playing with it and having a lot of fun. They do have some downfalls: they are very time consuming building the networks and there is a lot of maintenance involved with maintaining those social networks. However, I do believe with the right strategies that social networking can be a powerful tool in your marketing kit.

Just my 2 cents worth.
