Social Media 101

Social media 101

Social Media is huge and becoming huger. ( is that a word ???  M where are u ??)  Anyhow my clients are tripping over themselves because marketing carpet bombing and push marketing is on its knees.  Go figure after treating everyone as a group we are now getting personal. Its real and now we as marketers have to get real. We have to engage and talk. To guide you on your  path here is a grab bag of some great free booklets on social media  that  Chris Brogan a ten year veteran of using social media has brought together. Thanks Chris. Great work

In his blog Chris writes:

“It’s interesting what you can find when you look around a bit on Google. I thought I’d look for a few new ebooks to read. I found 20 different ones that might be interesting to you. It never hurts to get a few different perspectives. In all cases, the first link is to a PDF file, the second link is to the site where it’s hosted.
