I’m going to have a regular column for InformationWeek (The Brain Yard) on everything related to enterprise collaboration.  I’ll have around two articles there a month and will of course to continue to post here regularly.  I’m actually going to try to increase the post frequency on Social Business Advisor going forward.  I have a lot of topics and issues that I would like to cover!

Having said that here are the top 3 posts for September:
