Social media is not a fad.
How well you embrace it will give you an edge above your competitors.

Social media is my job. Teaching it, designing it, writing it, creating it.
Think about how YOU use it? What are your strengths and weakness and how can you improve {that’s if you’re running a business and trying to make money}…

Brilliant content Katrina, have you thought about teaching this to our kids schools?
My daughters primary school is against social media in all forms and labels it as ‘very bad’.
My son’s college however communicates through Twitter, website, email, txt, blogs, facebook and my son does all his homework on his iPad. No text books either.
Its the way of the future and I love it.
