The NYT's paywall has failed?
Oh, @ginidietrich i'm just not that surprised. As someone noted below, we've already been through this at Augusta. Until big business decides it's an issue and members pull out - - don't expect any change at Augusta.
LOL on the disclosure!
I'd really have to see that Remnick knew about this agreed to go-ahead with the review. Just doesn't sound like him - at all.

Howie Goldfarb Howie, so glad you liked the post. It is an incredible time to be a finance pro, isn't it? And figuring out the value - - that is indeed the trick.
Last comment has it. Spend your money on improving the business--don't get suckered into allure of SB by ad folks who have grown up dreaming of getting into the big game.
lauraclick ginidietrich I actually don't believe we have the right for social media at work...only that we have the right from our government. ;)

3HatsComm I live in an industry that doesn't listen to its critics. It is soooo hard in developed industries/countries to take on new ideas, because they don't support the status quo. Only the enlightened can push past... ;-)
ginidietrich You're welcome, ginidietrich.
So good, Gini.
lesmckeown lisarobbinyoung Ain't that the truth. ! ;-)

There you are again, leaning to the right. Great post, though Les.
I believe Doug Davidoff has the appropriate response---"It must translate into more business." (I'm paraphrasing, of course.)
So SM, too, will evolve. Highly complex, adaptive systems always do. That, plus the genius of our economic model, will determine which Face Book or LinkedIn's you should be involved with, Les. That is unless you want to be stuck selling buggies in a post-auto-industry world. ;)
