This blog is established to serve as a resource for business owners and Social Media Users who are looking to discuss: Using Social Media As A Resource for Business.

If you're a business owner:
1. A place for you and your staff to understand the value of using Social Media to promote your business to the people you serve through trust and community building.
2. Find resourceful Social Media Users and Influencers to understand how Social Media works and what they are doing to communicate a message.

If you’re a Social Media User or knowledged in Social Media :
1. With a resourceful mindset, talk with business owners on how Social Media works and how it may help them with their business.
2. Find companies who may be in need of Social Media Users, Markerters or Influencers

If you use MySpace, YouTube, blogs, microblogs, social networking, photo/video sharing, livecasting, audio/music sharing, virtual worlds, you are a valuable resource. I encourage Topic Driven Sessions and an open dialogue that promotes an understanding of each other's work and the value that we bring to other people.

Thank you.
