Social media is content created by people using highly accessible and scalable publishing technologies. Social Media gives your network (clients, friends, media, family, etc.) the ability to stay closely connected to you or your business. If you’ve heard of Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, or Twitter then you’re familiar with how it works.
Social media will continue to grow stronger, giving individuals a direct connection to the source of information, making publication platforms like newspapers and magazines less substantial and profitable. Most of these services are free making it more valuable to building your online community than spending money elsewhere.
