As a service based business owner, I have noticed the frequency with which my patients are finding me online, and not just through our business website, but through facebook, twitter, linkedin, and similar sites. I agree that it is difficult for many businesses to keep up with the rapid pace of change on the internet. As a market driven force to be reckoned with, social media will continue to affect how businesses and consumers or clients interact and "find" each other online. Thanks for this vital information.

Social media is a must if you want to get the word out about your website, blog, product, or business. It's nothing more than word of mouth with a twist. It can also be detrimental and a time waster if your not properly educate on how to use this social beast. Great post!

I think that for most casual users of the internet, they're just about moving from the Yellow Pages to Google as the first place they go to find businesses. But there's another generation of early adopters and frequent users who have already left Google behind and who turn to the social media like Twitter and Facebook as their primary connections. Many marketers are still struggling to understand these trends, never mind keeping up with them! Good points!

I have stopped using yellow pages for years and find the best source of new business is through referrals. Social media is the best way to earn trust and get the sale.

It is clear that Social Media is changing the way we communicate with one another on a global level. Amazing to think that we are actually living through this phenomena. This is reason alone to develop the mindset and skill level to maximize the full potential Social Media has to offer. It all starts with the interactive process and the delicate approach to connect with other like minded individuals. I can't wait to see where this technology will take us in the near future.
