Social Media

Part of my thesis research/recommendations for New Bedford will involve WEB 2.0 {see post about my meetings with Mathieu Plourde here & here}. This is pretty much new territory for me, I only recently started seeing its usefulness/potential & stopped seeing it as lame/Big Brother-esque. I found these two great articles from the Main Street Program's website {actually from following them on Facebook!}. They discuss the usefulness of using Social Media tools for marketing with one real-life example & then list a bunch of WEB 2.0 tools for those not in the know - like me! Check them out with the links below.

  1. What's great about social media is that you make "serendipitous digital gem discovery" more systematic. You have found this group on Facebook that posted this link, and this link was in the comments of this post, etc.

    It all comes back to the personal awareness network you setup for yourself.

  2. Honestly, 2 months ago I would have laughed at how web-savvy I have become now! It's all so interesting.
