People are spending lots of time socializing on-line. Social media applications like Facebook, Twitter and Blogs can be used to achieve measurable results in marketing, customer service and feedback on your business. When you really understand these relationship-building tools, you can put them to work faster and more effectively.
Businesses that know how people use social networks, and what they expect from them, can reap many benefits. On the other hand, if a company doesn’t understand the nuances of on-line networking, it may find itself ostracized and abandoned by users.
This fast-paced session will show you how to use Facebook, Twitter & Blogs for your business, and perhaps give you a whole new outlook on social media technology.

13. Why? “ Social media enables rich conversations … on what matters (who's running for office?)...and, on what doesn’t (Oprah’s having lunch where?) We…engage in…listen to…laugh at…think about… the many different views and opinions shared in those conversations. Sometimes we act…or change our mind…or just forget about it…but we enjoy the experience and come back for more. We like all the posts & cool [photos &] videos. It makes us buy stuff. ” (Source: http://www.slideshare.net/dolauren )

50. Facebook Pay-per-click Ads “ 77% of consumers trust ‘email from someone they know’; 16% trust ‘what’s written in a company’s blog’. (Source: http://www.facebook.com/ads/best_practices.php ) (Source: http://blogs.forrester.com/groundswell/2008/12/people-dont-tru.html ) (Source: http://www.slideshare.net/Weave/comcast-social-media-conference-facebook-for-business-breakout ) “ The most trusted advertising comes from friends interacting with your business page, and their friends seeing notifications of this activity.”
