Last year I had the honour of answering a call for sidebar contributions to Ed Brill’s book, “Opting In: Lessons in Social Business from a Fortune 500 Product Manager”. I had no doubt it would be a well-written, informative book. Ed’s announcement today of his new role as Director of Market Management – IBM Mobile
