		<description><![CDATA[ A strong social media presence can be the determining factor between a successful online business and one that gets lost in translation. Having started as a way to keep in touch with the social happenings of your friends, the social media world has evolved into an all-encompassing media powerhouse. Companies are now able to make a lasting impression on their audience directly. No longer do businesses have to solely rely on the hope that consumers will see a billboard or read a magazine with their advertisement in it, but rather they are now able to communicate with their targets on a more direct level.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Social networking is everywhere. It is common to find parents, children, coworkers and even the elderly on the networks across the social media world on sites such as Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn. With social networks people across the world have access to tools and options that were previously non-existent. However, there are just as many new opportunities to connect as there are to get into potential danger. Social networking has opened up many new doorways for cyber-crime, and with all the people on social networks who are completely new to technology, it is more important than ever to make sure people are aware of the risks.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, yes and yes. Social media is just another way to generate backlinks  to your site, which might help you rank higher –depending on what people are saying about your business.

With the popularity of social media rising, specifically Facebook well over 500 million users and growing, it’s a market you can’t afford to ignore. That’s thousands of potential leads, customers and contacts for your business. Additionally Facebook has its own pay per click campaigns so you can reach out to even more users, specifically by their interests, age and gender if necessary. Facebook has also recently introduced a whole new level of ecommerce on their site, so all your business has to do is tap into it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the old days, companies were always leery of jumping on technologies and new mediums that they perceived would damage their security and drive down employee productivity. Many still are. When telephones first came out, employers thought they should never have one on each employee’s desk, because then they would call people all day. When personal computers were new, many of the employees had to share them or they weren’t allowed to have personal disks, because employers were afraid that employees would not spend their time doing company business, or would leave the premises with copyrighted, proprietary information and take it straight to their competitor. Then there were company laptops, company cell phones and being able (or unable) to access the internet at work. The cry was still the same: employees will stop working and security will be compromised.]]></description>

While many corporations are aware that they need to have a social media presence, that they need to wage social media marketing campaigns, and that they have to actively manage their company’s online social reputation, very few are wading in to take advantage of the many benefits that could come from allowing their employees access to social media sites while at work.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is incredibly important for corporate entities to develop legal guidelines regarding the use of social media by their employees. Although the prevailing instinct is to prohibit the access of all social media sites from employee use, this may not be the wisest course of action. Companies might be surprised to know that their greatest fears will not come true if they have a corporate legal policy. In other words, despite sounding counterintuitive, their employees won’t spend all day ignoring their work as they Facebook their friends and corporate secrets will not end up on the web.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The popularity and market penetration of social media sites have made their utilization important for businesses who wish to keep their online presence visible to the public. Unfortunately, in a post WEB 2.0 world, more visibility can mean more vulnerability. Consumer generated content means that individuals have more power than ever to affect your company, by either supporting you or by criticizing you. The new word of mouth is spread through sites like Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Stumble Upon, YouTube (and others), and through blogs, RSS feeds, open discussion forums, and consumer review websites.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The face of Internet marketing is changing on a daily basis. Recently, online business owners and Internet Marketers have begun to focus more and more of their marketing efforts towards integrating social media. Social media sites like Twitter, FaceBook, StumbleUpon, Digg and YouTube have given marketers a never before seen opportunity to tap into a market that is prequalifed. FaceBook, perhaps the most popular of the social media sites, has become a focal point.

People are using social network web sites such as Facebook or Myspace to reconnect with old friends from elementary school, colleagues from work, and even their favorite celebrities and musicians.
