Are we having a conversation?

Today, business happens in real-time. Market shifts in real-time. Data changes in real-time.

So what is social media? Simply put, social media is people having conversations online.

Social media is the connective tissue of social networks where who you know is crucial.

Social media is about enabling conversations and while you can’t control what is being said, you can influence the conversation
