As we know social media is a hot topic and caus­ing quite a buzz in the busi­ness world. Some peo­ple are all for it and oth­ers think it is a load of rub­bish. There are many dif­fer­ent ways peo­ple and busi­nesses are using social media. Some have made a huge profit from it and oth­ers noth­ing at all.

From what I have seen some peo­ple are really con­cerned about pri­vacy (I am in that camp) and some peo­ple don’t seem to worry too much. In my arti­cle about Face­book for busi­ness, I men­tioned that I have used Face­book for years, but purely to keep in touch with fam­ily and friends all around the world.

Today I was read­ing an arti­cle on Brand Repub­lic about the short­age of social media and SEO knowl­edge and skills amongst mar­ket­ing and PR pro­fes­sion­als. Even I was sur­prised at how low the sta­tis­tics were
