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.
