Specialising in social media for business
Hopkins and Cook are at the forefront of the push for Australian organizations to use social media tools in business, now widely being discussed as “Enterprise 2.0”.

Writing in the report, the authors reinforce the widely held belief that 2008 will be an important year for blogs and wikis in Australian workplaces.

“In the past 12 months there has been an upsurge in corporate Australia’s interest in Web 2.0. The next few years will see that trend accelerate and, increasingly, that interest will be converted into action.”
