  • Look within … your comments, that is

    There is a reference to an interview conducted with the CEO of CoComment on Everything is Miscellaneous that includes a discussion about how CoComment enables its corporate clients to delve into the comments posted to their sites to identify the experts and higher profile commentators.

  • Hollard’s call centre that doesn’t really handle calls

    My wife has a fascinating and highly entertaining story about her experiences with Hollard after I was involved in an accident in her car recently.
