Twitter Apps #1 – TweetStats
Twitter is everywhere these days and I must admit, it is my favourite tool next to e-mail and of course edocr. It is truly a remarkable marketing tool that I use everyday for both edocr and Northern StartUp 2.0. I also use twitter for user/customer engagement, news and collaboration. What is also amazing is the […]
Testing out Zemanta
Image via CrunchBase Just came across Zemanta through Twitter and thought of trying it out quickly. So far I configured Zemanta for flickr and twitter.

However, it reports typical salaries of $58,000 and further analysis is required to understand how it is calculated. On SimplyHired’s defence, they clearly states that average knowledge management salaries can vary greatly […]
