Governance has never been, and will never be a fun topic...Lack of Drivers A driver needs to exist for content governance to become a focus for a team or individual
For that reason I believe it is important to consider eight ways that social media impacts information governance. 1. Any information governance policy that has content management under its scope needs to include social as part of its jurisdiction
This isn’t just governance and the control of content...I feel that for focused solutions or small volume systems, Content Management isn’t required...How important is governance for Enterprise 2.0?

There are specific courses for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn as well as a lot of broadly applicable content
