I can be pretty slow when it comes to understanding things like #WSocial because I've been away from the tech / online world a while. I'm still reading her articles, but I want to thank @_elena for her report about WSocial. I had questions when I first heard about the platform because the initial news reports read like press release rewrites. No one was asking the tough questions. Congratulations to Elena for asking them!

Why write about it again? I still had so many questions after publishing my first article.
I spent 3 weeks watching every interview I could find and connecting the dots.
I hope you'll enjoy this piece:
