WP2.5 upgrade

Great new features, great new “interior design”, much quicker.

All I need to do now is write…

Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Sounds very simple, doesn’t it? I guess it is, but introduction posts are the hardest. I should know that since part of my job in the past year is assisting numerous Israeli and global corporates and businesses with blogospheric conversation engagement. Writing the first post is always the hardest hurdle to overcome when starting a blog. I’ll try to do it in a graceful manner.

So, first things first. My name Israel Blechman, I live in Tel Aviv and I am the CTO of Blink (our Hebrew blog), which is the first Israeli social media and Enterprise2.0 consulting and professional service firm. Blink’s focus is on empowering internal and external communication by utilizing Web2.0 methodologies and tools.

I hope this blog will assist me with the process of collecting, organizing and sharing ideas and thought related to my fields of interest: Collaboration, Social Software, Social Media, Conversation Marketing, Corporate blogging, Corporate Social Networks, Collaboration, Customer and Employee Engagement, and Online PR .

Prior to my exciting and ever-evolving work at Blink I was involved in an Enterprise2.0 start-up and before that I was a researcher and lecturer at Tel Aviv University and a freelance web and knowledge management solutions developer.

I am married to my wonderful soul mate Adi, who is a hard working dedicated speech therapist, and we have a very cute (yet very annoying) cat called Shasi (who also blog).
