Participate in Social Media July 27, 2008

Social media is considered the driving force behind the Web 2.0 movement. It allows people to interact with site owners, comment on articles, contribute to site content, and participate in creating and re-creating media, and ultimately, network with other people. Basically we’re talking about forms of consumer generated media (CGM) and consumer generated content (CGC) such as blogs, podcasting, video casting, wiki, social networking, and social book-marking. Messages are distributed through RSS, which stands for Real Simple Syndication, and subscribers read them using services such as Bloglines.
To take advantage of this technology to generate traffic to your website you need to join or create an account at sites such as Facebook, Linked In, Youtube, iFilm, Technorati, StumbleUpon, Del.icio.us,
You should also consider adding a blog to your website to interact with your clients and customers. I recommend using the blog in combination with your existing company site for maximum benefits. You can use free programs such as wordpress to create your own blog.
