Small Social Media
It seems more and more that it is imperative for businesses to start using social media to enhance their business models. From a story on seachenginewatch.com, apparently the number of small businesses using social media is supposed to double in the next year. Currently about 5% of all small businesses use social media and in the next 12 months about 600,000 small American businesses are supposed to start using social media in their business platforms. Not only is social media convenient and can be done from anywhere there’s an Internet connection but its also cost effective. Especially with the economy in the toilet, businesses need cheap ways to gain business and advertise. And as we all know advertising in print media is way to expensive, so now is the time for social media to emerge and help propel are economy.

Totally agree. I devoted an entire post to this idea as well.
The best part of it all is that there is opportunity for even us to grab a hold of a social media specialist position within a company. With social media being such a large area of growth, we in many ways have one step ahead of students who have never taken a social media class.
Blogging may have been a daunting task, but all in all, this class has better prepared us for the shift within the work place.
