Why is Social Media all the rage?

November 20, 2014 by Trina Lo

Social Media isn’t really about Social Media… That probably sounded pretty confusing. But what I mean is, you don’t use Social Media because it’s the best marketing tool.

Social Media

So what IS Social Media anyway? Well, that's the first question you need to answer. If you look it up on Wikipedia, it'll confuse you more than anything else! For those of us who are, ahem...over 25 or even 30 in some cases, few of the social networks make any sense. We didn't grow up with them and it's not natural for humans to communicate with our thumbs on a little rectangular box, is it? Our definition of Social Media is simple, web-based applications that allow … Read More...
