I would like your thoughts for an upcoming project that will adress as many of these issues as we can, empowering businesses of any size, from 1-person to hundred, take advantage of the real-time web, and give you a set of tools that make doing business easier, period.

Is it included in your blog or on your web site? D. What's the biggest challenge you face: marketing, community management, customer relationship managemen...
