			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>google. lower case google: you get more brand recognition and mind share by being a verb, not a brand: air is free, yet we all breath it.  </p>
<p>Now, to the point: <a href="http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2007/05/30/harvard_busines.html#comments">zephoria</a> asks for participation in her Case Study for the HBR.</p>
<p>Of course, in reality, few companies have their senior management, or their possible employees, on facebook. Social media is quite recent, in geological years, although old in internet time.</p>
<p>But I see that, here in middle earth, people are afraid of or unaware of the possibilities of social media, opting for the more direct approach: house visit or phone message.</p>
<p>That said, it is interesting to see sites like <a href="http://linkedin.com" title="linkedin me">linkedin</a> generate all this interest, doubtless because people are running scared in a recession economy, and thus using all venues to enhance their employability prospectus.</p>
<p>Me? I do it for the social capital.</p>
