What’s success? In year 3 and beyond it just happens on its own, and I don’t have to promote if further, people forget that I spurred it. The real testament if our friends at Hallmark are able to get behind it.<\/p>\n
And most importantly, a sincere thanks to those Community Managers are forging the relationships between customers and companies using these new technologies.<\/p>\n
Thank you.
