Making Delicious in November: my top 5 bookmarks
Activity through engagement, gamification, and consumers speaking up.
With a 2011 holiday season on the way, there was no retreat from hard business news and bookmarks on Delicious. This November, the news that caught my attention was all about blinking and thinking of enterprises, their customers, and thought leaders. In particular:
- Companies were blinking in the face of strong customer dissatisfaction.
- The FTC denied web access to e-commerce site selling fake brands.
- A Harvard thought leader took long look at gamification and what it means for the current practice of social media.
Everywhere you see the impact of Web 2.0 — from news sites to e-commerce programs for small businesses. Here are the top five tags from my delicious stack.

Note: Several days, later Bank of America did cancel plans to implement debit-card fees.
