By Joe Brockmeier | Published: 12/7/2009
Did an interview recently with Ron Miller that is up on DaniWeb on openSUSE and social media. Always enjoy talking to Ron, even if we don't agree on the use of certain words in headlines. He also gives good advice on building your blog over on Soc Media 101. Read the interview on DaniWeb.
