Social Media? What’s Social Media?

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

With all the buzz about Social Media you’d think the entire nation was using it. Not according to a Jun 16, 2011 Pew Research Report. Based on the report, out of 100 American adults less than half (just 46) use any social network. 42 of those 46 use Facebook, 13 use MySpace, 8 use LinkedIn, and just 5 out of 100 use Twitter.
