Wow! Is there any topic more hotly debated at parties, around the water cooler, over dinner, in the restrooms, on the planes . . . than “social media”? To Tweet, or not to Tweet, to stick our Face in the Book, or to Link ourself to the IN crowd – those are the questions! Shall we join a Triiibe, or Squidoo too? Will we really Meet customer, clients, or patients on Meetup? Will we really get Biz-ness off BizNik? Is it worth our time, our energy, and our money?

The answer is a resounding YES! It’s a must! Communication has moved to the web. TMZ broke the story of Michael Jackson’s death to millions of people before mainstream broadcast could find it’s voice. Marketing is communicating – getting people to know you, so they can have an opportunity to like you, and ultimately, to trust you – the KLT of marketing – Know – Like – Trust!
