There are a number of myths that are common among many businesses that are keeping them from joining everyone else in the social media marketing world. We would like to address each of these myths and expose them for the misconceptions that they are.
Myth #1: My Customers Aren’t on Social Media
Wow, if we had had a dollar for every time we’ve heard this one….This myth keeps more companies and business owners from interacting with their potential customers through social media than any other myth.

Can Google Overcome The Dominance of Facebook?
Jun 14th
It seems that Google recently put everything on its main homepage, except for Google Buzz. What’s up with that? They even put the PacMan game in their logo for two days running for heaven’s sake…so you would think that some of the brightest minds on the planet would have figured out by now that if Google truly wants to be the winner on the new web, they simply have to fully integrate all their programs into one homepage - or at least place Buzz right there side-by-side with the Gmail button.
