But, give me a minute. Because, what I have to tell you is indeed the real deal.
Today (Jan 17th) is a large-scale protest day to SOPA/PIPA. No doubt, you've heard all about it.

While 2011 was a busy year, I’m expecting 2012 to be a breakout year for a number of key subject areas that I work with closely. The run up of social business over the last five years has been phenomenal but there’s a general sense now that it’s about to go truly mainstream. That’s not [...]
