Have a read through this post on Social Media and Big Society, by my fellow RAAKonteur Wessel van Rensburg.

I think it's worth nominating, but I'm biased ;-)

Hi Neil, How about Mike Phillips' (he of http://www.whatthefuckismysocialmediastrategy.com/ fame) post about Don't Listen to Your Agency when they throw a twitter at your brand

Oh no, is it really too late? I would like to nominate Ben Kunz's The Technology of Love. It's dark and frankly I don't agree with all of it, but it's extremely good. Beautifully written, provocative, but measured. Worthy of your POTM:
