What is Social Media?
• Definition: “the use of electronic and Internet tools for the purpose of sharing and discussing information and experiences with other human beings.”
- Ben Parr http://www.benparr.com/2008/08/its-time-we-defined-social-media-no-more-arguing-heres-the-definition
• In other words, social media describes the tools people use and the ways people share ideas online.
• Relationship building!

Waiting is NOT the Answer
• Waiting for new communication “fads” to settle will not make it happen.
• There is an increasing need to be adaptable and flexible with these tools.
• Be committed to the tools that advance your mission until they no longer do that.
• By the time you learn and adapt to one tool, another one emerges. (e.g. MySpace)
