@Barbara -- Ha! You know, I think it depends on how many people play :) only one of the prizes is based on score. The other two are to reward Facebook fans and Twitter followers. Many times, skill contests are overwhelmed by professionals or those with too much time on their hands, so we wanted to have both elements. (Also, pay no attention to the name at the top of the leaderboard on Facebook right now...that guy definitely has too much time on his hands...)
@Susan Fourtané -- Hi Susan. Sorry for the delay. This post went up earlier than I expected. Efficiency of EBN is awesome! The Twitter puzzle can be found at: http://bit.ly/tti-twitterpuzzle -- Just played it on my phone. Very challenging.
Thanks for the article. It is good to see what other companies are doing and spurring me on to get more active with my own company to see what we are doing in this area.
I'm happy to be the first one to comment on this blog. Thanks for sharing all of these links and continually educating me, at least, on social media. The companies cited here do make lots of money, but they also give back. I know of many electronics companies that are very active in charity organizations in their locales. Kudos to all

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
