How Social Media will reshape businesses through the power of customers. We might finally be there, that customer service and leadership become personal and individual. Ted Coine is a great writer, too. Look at the start of his blog post... tension building and attention grabbing.

Sudden change is called an extinction event. Think of the dinosaurs. 65 million years ago, they were everywhere, these lumbering beasts that ruled the land, the sea, and even the air. 64,199,000 years ago (give or take), all we had left were some lizards, some little birds, and a few gators, their cousins.
