Social Networking Social networking has become very important for business. It is now an essential element of networking, marketing and personal branding which no entrepreneur can ignore. There are different ways of using social networking, and many different social networking web sites, so it is essential to be realistic about how much time and effort you can put into this activity. It is also important to research how to use social networking because there is a danger of saying the wrong things and reducing your reputation rather than enhancing it.

What Is Social Networking?

What Is Social Media?

"Embracing and understanding how to use social media is a core life skill, leadership skill and career building skill."

"Social media is social. It's about helping people connect to people using technology, it embodies truly what the Internet was intended for."

"Social media is not just about technology, it's a new way of leading, thinking, and connecting with other people."

"Social media belongs to all of us. An ordinary consumer, a front line employee, a political activist in Iran all have access and a voice."

Quotes from Shane Gibson.

While news from Iran streams to the world, Clay Shirky shows how Facebook, Twitter and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes to report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics.

This video from the Social Media Revolution shows how important social media has become, and shows that it is a force that is still evolving and growing and will not go away because it has actually changed the way society thinks and works.
