Last week we kicked off an "anti-recession" initiative and invited companies to send in their story about how they're succeeding despite the economy. There was an excellent response in group comments, emails and inspiring success stories we published. Thank-you to everyone! Following are just 5 of the posts that came in from LinkedIn members.
Our invitation still stands for companies that can follow the outlined guidelines. We're also posting these stories to multiple social networks to help these companies gain broader visibility and assist in their search engine rankings (Digg, Technorati, Twitter, Delicious). Several of the companies have used their posting as a form of publicity to talk to their clients, suppliers and networks and reinforce they will be there to serve them for a long time to come.
