Social business resources

Side note:I’ve been preparing for a talk at Acuity Forums Executing Social Media, in Calgary. These are some of the useful resources I came across as it relates to Social Business practices. I hope it helps you as much as it helped me. I’d appreciate a discussion if you have a thing or two to add.

My goal in this presentation is to look at social media as it relates to fostering innovation and change inside an organization. As a result focus is to provide a framework to simplify social media adoption inside a corporation.
Please note that this page treats social business, enterprise 2.0, social computing and internal social media interchangeably. As of June 8th, 2010 links to all of these articles and papers are working properly. Please let me know if you see a broken link.
