    FRIENDSTER, MYSPACE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER – what more can we have in the coming years? These social networking sites have been setting the whole online world ablaze for several years now. Today, new words have been lexiconized like tweet, digg, wall posts, aggregator, atom feeds, blog and the like. Many of these have become household names to some extent.

    The comfy lifestyle and convenience that these social networking sites have brought to internet savvy users have become much priceless that tens of millions of people have been signing up, updating and maintaining their social media pages daily or to some extent, even 24/7. Several years back, on the early conception period of these online social media sites, the situation was much different than it is today.

    Social Media has evolved over the past few decades into something beautiful today... Every Marketer should take advantage of "Social Media Marketing" and take advantage of "User Generated Content."

    I had a chance to dig up some research today so I thought I would share it with you here.

    Interesting article. I will email the link to some friends.

    I outsource most of my social media.

    It got to the point that if I did not pay others to do it, I would spend all my time social marketing and have no time to run my business.

    Good information in your article.:)

    Social media is a powerful tool... may seem like a lot of work to someone new, but it can make or break your site!
