Social Media July 2012

So I'm taking a class for school this summer called Social Media. I think it came at a pretty appropriate time too, because clearly I haven't touched this blog for awhile! And I would like to become more comfortable with not only how to use it, but how to use it effectively. I will be traveling to Thailand this upcoming November and I would like to blog about this trip, as it will prove to be quite fascinating. So the class covers all aspects of SM, but the ones I really need to work on and embrace are blogging, Twitter (is that really useful?) and maybe a of couple others. There are more types of SM out there than I even realized and I think it will continue to only grow as the months and years progress. As a business owner, it is imperative that this form of communication is embraced and used frequently, as this is the way of the future.
