My Social Media mantra: There is NO opting out of Social Media.
If you are not talking about your business or brand, I can guarantee you that someone else is. It’s up to us to ensure that the message out there for other people to find is the message that we want them to find. Social Media is the BEST means to achieve this!
My goal is to provide you with tips and information to help you develop and manage your Social Media platforms. My blogs are all about Social Media and Business and ways in which different platforms and business applications can help you develop your business and marketing plans. Just remember that the key word here is SOCIAL. Social Media is NOT a platform for you to over promote your brand. It is to create a community and conversations with others similar to you or interested in your brand. The standard posting ratio should be 80/20 – 80% conversations, 20% business marketing & promotion.
Here are some key blog postings to help you better understand my blog and Social Media.

Jenn's Trends 
Jenn, great point about social media for business…you better get out there to craft the brand message before someone else does it for you. I never thought of it from that perspective, at least not for small businesses.
