Following on from my last look at Generation Y, I wrote this for OnePoll about the biggest differences between these generations.

Dreaming of Content Distribution Systems – Learning From Brands

We can’t force people to click, engage and share, but there are things we can do to make it a lot more likely that they will. How can we learn from big name brands to make sure people actually see the content we create?

See you there!
