Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, and a host of other social media are becoming more popular by the day. Twitter, in particular, is making believers out of millions of small businesses as entrepreneurs everywhere utilize the Web’s powers to connect with people to grow their customer base. In today’s economic landscape, social media is a highly effective form of marketing because it is extremely cost effective, easily ties into other forms of traditional marketing and public relations, and engages with new and existing customers on a deeper level.

But it’s important to know how to utilize these tools. To be sure, it’s important to sign up and use all of the above social media along with many others. But it’s even more important to use them the right way.
