Terry, next time you might want to include live links to the youtube, facebook and twitter pages of the CoPs within the blog. Just a thought…
Thanks Matt…I can actually do that now! Great idea!!!
Another metric that would be good to share is how many people the CoPs follow. Listening is a very important aspect of social media.
