Everything You Wanted to Know About Social Media but Were Afraid to Ask

I’m talking up the importance of social media use, marketing and networking all day long. When new clients contact me about a Web site, social media comes up. When current clients call asking about updating, upgrading or what their next step should be with their two, three, four or 10 year old sites — yep, social media!

Technology can be very frustrating for those who do not do this every day, all day like I do. I hear hesitation in their voices when I start talking about stumbling, digging and tweeting. They think I’m nuts!

To help get everyone exposed to the topic, the tools and the benefits that social media participation can bring to your Web program, I’ve assembled a few of my favorite sites and links on the topic for your reading pleasure.

If you do nothing but review these resources, I bet you’ll be hard pressed to not see the need to embrace this wave!
