Learning Social Media

I've always relied on my marketing experience to help navigate new emerging technologies and hot trends within interactive marketing. But over the last few month I have worked closely with some of the internet's greatest minds in social media. And for the record, while they don't always sound brilliant, they are!

The experts in social media today have really grabbed hold of the web and turned it into this powerful social tool that many believe it was designed to be. So much so that I have been inspired to start witting again and this time, I'm going to learn how to do it right!

Why? Simply put, it is powerful marketing.

So where am I going to start? Well I have finally opened a Twitter account and I have started tracking the blogs of people I think are smart. Over the next few weeks I'm going to start looking into apps to help me be more efficient and looking for ways to bring greater visibility to this blog. But even more on point, I am going to solicit the thoughts and ideas of a community that I want to build. After all, isn't that really the point of this?

More to come...
