Information Overload
Managing information on the surface can seem like a really easy thing to do, and in some cases actually is – so much so i think its easy to miss the importance of it, or to overcomplicate it. At work I work with a Microsoft product called SharePoint – its a platform, and its all [...]

Results from the poll
And here are the results from yesterday’s poll – does this site make me look unprofessional.
