Seb Joins Socialtext
Posted by Ross Mayfield
I'm completely stoked to share the news that longtime M2M contributor Seb Paquet has joined Socialtext. I've wanted to bring him on board since we started the company and was pleasantly suprised to find us at the top of the list he put out when he announced on his blog that he was looking for something new.
Let me use this as an excuse to reintroduce you to Seb. Prior to coming on board, Seb was an Associate Research Officer at the National Research Council of Canada, where he worked on innovative uses of social software, in particular in collaborative learning and knowledge management. Over the past several years, Seb has been contributing insightful articles and talks about those topics in English and French and has been running blogs in both languages. He will help us reach out to new customers and pitch into enhancing the experience and value of our software.
Yet another great person hired by blog. Welcome aboard, and see you at Wiki Wednesday, Seb!

What's with the business promotion ad? Bad form.

Seb's post brings a new twist to the Employment market, in fact turns it upside-down:
- Have a well-read blog
- Publish your wish list
- Let them come to you ...
Smart. Congrat's.

Although I am truly happy for both Socialtext and Seb, I must selfishly say that this was a great (understatement) loss for the NRC (yeah, Seb was in our e-Learning Research Group).
Socialtext is not only getting a top rate thinker, but an amazing individual!
Give me a call Seb.
Rod.

Intellectually drafted article. Seems to grab attention at once.
