Those products now look very dated. I can see Google coming from behind in social media with Gmail + profile + Connect ( see <a href="http://twitter.com/ssethi/status/1594511344" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/ssethi/status/1594511344</a>). Cant see Microsoft pulling anything off. I agree - needs change at the top.<br>Henry Hi Nick,
