Social CRM, Enterprise 2.0 and the Complete Business

Social CRM and programs that deal with the "social customer" are the new "black" this year. And why not, every business wants to get closer to its customers, right? There are some great success stories about everything from using consumer based social communications channels like Facebook and Twitter for marketing, support and sales to building community based support through peer-to-peer networks.

Photography Gift Guide: Photo Editors, Mobile Apps, More
Premium-Inhalt. When I was about 10 years old, I begged my parents for a pocket-sized transistor radio.
