Social Media Research

Today, I continue researching social media marketing {SMM} - but instead of making charts determining New Bedford's level of exposure I'm focusing on what social media outlets I want to use in my evaluation. Right now I'm compiling different sites, definitions, thoughts, opinions {positive & negative} on using social media for marketing, especially for small businesses. I'll post what I find here - so I guess this will be more of an open/streaming post. Check back frequently throughout today to see if there are any updates & as usual I would love to hear any thoughts from any readers out there!
