Well, I think this is a quite complicated view of the role of Mr. Bush. The article mentions, that Bush claimed China as the next big opponent in the world after the former soviet-union was broken down in it´s role as a „superpower“. Additionaly Bush´s claim of „You are with us, or you are against…
Dears, since I´ve just moved from movabletype to typepad I wanted to get my first Moblog running – but guess what: it didn´t work, I got funny error messages from typepads postmaster, that the emial adress, I was posting from, was unknown. So it took me nearly a day to find out, that you HAVE…
Well, thanks Oliver for this nice article on fastcompany that fits so well in the current discussions around the corporate use of blogs, and the trust into companies.
