Editor's Notes
- Facebook is not just personal profiles for sharing photos of your dinner with your uninterested friends. It is actually a hugely important way to get thousands of people interacting with your business online and offline.Twitter – Excellent for following people in your industry, thought leaders, reporters and even for lead generation.LinkedIn – Excellent for recruiting and attracting prospects to your firm. Also a good forum for connecting people. This is Google’s reply to fears that Facebook is taking over. Its all about integrating your online social media life with your search engine
