Open Office works better on Linux than on the mac, as does thunderbird and firefox For a few things (mostly system/network tools) there are some incredibly awesome options, amazingly good for free (as in beer) software, and better than software you’d pay for.

The first reason is the excessive focus on specific social media tools. Many first-timers are introduced to social media via specific tools. Many ’social media experts’ who are practitioners rather than thinkers also focus on specific tools. My own approach to social media is both tool-agnostic and terminology-agnostic.

That's too bad - given the role GSA has played, e.g. in negotiating blanket agreements for use of third party tools. NIH does this to allow teens a way to get credible information from a trusted third party - and NIH gets some great intelligence about what is on the minds of teens (eg in 2009 twice as many marijuana questions as in 2008.).
