They control 40.3% of the global cellular phone market - and yet we only really hear Nokia's name in relation to how badly the iPhone and Android are eating their lunch.

We Work In Public
Blog PostThe Dachis Group Collaboratory launched two weeks ago and we have been actively sharing our thoughts on social business design, while allowing the world to view a window on our work. Recently, the documentary "We Live In Public" has been in screenings around the U.S., chronicling the activities of Josh Harris a decade ago and foreshadowing many characteristics of today's "social" mania. We have only partially opened the window on our work world, but the view it provides has caused us to reflect on what we do. As all of us are participating in the live, unedited feed, some of our worldwide team have some distinct thoughts to share and I hope to hear your thoughts in the comments.
