Surely you jest, Dennis. This is the age of openness and free-thinking, just like the late 90's when all the kids were making millions in the technology world.
We have Facebook, where you can make lots of customer and networking contacts - and you can build a fantasy farm and do some drug smuggling on the side! It's the perfect place for corporate America to call home.
And Twitter, with it's 140 characters of pure conversational glory - this is the new form of communication, man! Everyone will be talking through tweets and status updates and comments, and the world will be a much better place.
You just watch - hierarchies will crumble even at the largest of the "old school" businesses (Exxon, GM, Coca Cola - I'm talking to you!) and openness will prevail.
I mean look at the other "Open" world - open source is everywhere! SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, IBM: all obliterated by the Open Source world. Windows is not top dog anymore - Linux is. No more Oracle, DB2, or MS-SQL running corporate America, it's all MySQL and PostGres now.. JDEdwards, Dynamics, SAP - all of them have been replaced by Compiere and SugarCRM.
