Blogs (WordPress) Microblogs (Tumblr, Twitter) Image-Sharing (Flickr, Instagram) Video-Sharing (YouTube) Networking (Facebook, LinkedIn) Bookmarking (Pinterest)
  4. SOCIAL MEDIA Anything but a passing fad. A wide-ranging and critical change in how we communicate and get our jobs done. A significant shift in communication from “one-to-one” or even “one-to-many” -- it’s now “many to many.”
