Social Media Information

Social Media is evolving - from playful to strategic

Social Media is no longer the cool nice to have where people tweet a bid, have a nice profile and blog random thoughts. Social media gets strategically embedded in corporations. Cisco, IBM, Walmart, Wholefoods, Starbucks and others invest millions in their social web presence.

The investment is more on the resource side than systems. Those leaders get truly social. Social media leaders need to stay ahead of the curve as well.
