We live in a global marketplace. LMS Vendors. 30% vendors offer at least one type of social media – from my latest LMS directory. A high percentile pitched “demo&# as a trial, but you had to register – so hello phone call and at least an e-mail (even if you ask not to e-mail). Helloooo?

Global markets. Often misleading in a vendor’s pitch is that they are truly global, when in fact nothing could be farther than the truth. Many vendors service multi-conglomerates that are international, rather than companies that are based only in country x and no where else. Social Learning.

Vendors are hearing us and are making changes. More multilingual options to their web sites, trials and social learning.
