Twitter Talk – August 24, 2009

Published on August 24, 2009 by Donna Seale

I'm thankful I was able to get out with my family yesterday and enjoy our one whole day of summer yesterday!  (We almost didn't recognize the blue sky and sun when it showed up in the morning).  Today, we got hit by a thunderstorm which had me wondering if we were going to leave the house at all!  Guess I should be thankful we have a roof over our heads in order to continually duck this lousy weather.

Anyway, amidst the weather wranglings, there has been a lot of interesting discussion on Twitter during the past week covering everything from enhancing workplace diversity, to how workplace sexual harassment is morphing with the new technologies and even to how those new technologies are impacting employer behaviors.  You'll also see a link to a great video that shows how a person who is blind navigates the internet on his computer.  Happy reading/viewing!

The 'new' sexual harassment is less in-your-face than in the past but still a big problem. http://chilp.it/?a0fb02
