I'm getting the first real signs of department wide paricipation for my forum as we move on to discussing a topic that lends itself easily to collaboration, since the two halves of the department have a shared interest in its success. Previously it's taken some colleagues a while to get into the spirit of things, but now one of the people directly involved in the project has taken the initiative in calling for ideas.
We've also had some staff update sessions and I took the opportunity to work social media into the mix. Our company has been getting into using social media more of late, and I'm amongst a small group of people who are keen to see it used more. I saw some doubts initially because colleagues are rightly worried about the potential embarassments that could come with it, but then I pointed out that we've taken flak on social networking sites anyway, so what's the difference? I was pleased to see that people were agreeing, and I've hopefully got some genuine attention.
This week has also been interesting for me because I found myself credited for a comment I put on Twitter - somebody had spotted a tweet that I made and put the article onto their website, with my tag next to it. Shows that people are listening...
