What is social media? Social media is the newest trend on the Web, websites that allow those of us non-web designers to be able to post content, video, and other forms of information online. You may have heard it referred to in the press as Web 2.0.Other terms used are social networks (MySpace, Facebook), bookmarking sites (Del.ici.ous, BackFlip), video/ photo sharing sites (YouTube, Flickr), blogs and blog communities (Blogger, MyBlogLog), and widgets / applications (Twitter, Digg). Social media sites have the advantage of allowing businesses a better way of communicating with customers and prospects than ever before. No longer are business owners limited to advertisements in traditional media (newspapers, yellow pages, or magazines), or even on websites where we are unsure if anyone even looks at the ads.
