I find it interesting how Andrew McAfee talks about Enterprise 2.0 and how this is where work is going, meanwhile, on Spark 101 there was talk of how some businesses filter any personal e-mail, IM, & social networking. Are the businesses that are so strictly filtering missing the new way to do things? Would these be like the businesses that refused to go to cell phones a decade ago?
Sorry, the Parking Mobility dude is slime. They're just trying to make money from someone breaking the law. Paid vigilantism. I'm afraid it sounds like the same crowd in the US suing a business for breaking accessibility laws just for the money.
I can see teenagers looking for extra money scouring parking lots looking for offenders.
@Scot:
Those who park in disabled parking areas without a tag are no better.
