I have had the experience of interacting on-line with individuals (includes associates that I consider to be friends) which in a face to face setting the in depth sharing of knowledge and ideas would not have transpired. As a thinker, I too have enjoyed this avenue because it permits me to lay out my thoughts at a pace that I am comfortable with. Social networking in a business setting is also beneficial as reflected in a book I read "Social Media Marketing" by Dave Evans which highlights the following; •The “Social Web” represents the awesome “power of the collective.” • “Social Media” marketing can create vast word-of-mouth advertising – its biggest benefit for marketers. • “Netizens” – online community members – will talk about your company whether you are online or not, so you cannot ignore online media. • Unlike traditional marketing, promoting your products and services online via social media does not involve interrupting – or irritating – an audience. • Companies often imitate each others’ successful social media marketing strategies. In summary, organizations need to have social media strategies to meet their business growth objectives.
