Seems Like Anyone Can Use Social Media!
Many social media people sometimes talk about the social media cloud or the "echo chamber" where we all parrot back and forth about how awesome social media is.
It's true that I think social media is so awesome, I filled my RSS up with 100+ sites that I tried to keep track of (and failed). However, in cleaning up my RSS I found amazing articles about how different businesses are or could be using social media to up the ante.
Chris Brogan talks about how hotels could use SM to win more business travel.
David Finch how professional and youth sports teams are using or could be using SM.
Or here's something I didn't expect, an article on how clinical trial recruiters could be using SM.
Best yet, some authenticity, marketing without marketing, how a restaurant got Jason Falls' attention with SM.

I surely agree that it is almost impossible to keep track of all the social media sites. It is becoming the way and it is hard to keeping up with 10-20 let alone a massive 100+ sites.

Having worked extensively for online marketing shops, and having web 2.0 discussions about this that and the other. I can tell you that people who expect to make money through marketing with Social Media are really trying to thread the needle.
We have found that the concept needs to be really engineered and awesome from a marketing standpoint, in order to create sales.
On the other hand Social Media is great for branding and getting company name recognition.

I found the article on a restaurant using SM rather interesting. I think it is a way to gain traffic that i still haven’t mastered for my website. You should make more posts about how to use social media in an effective manner.

The strength of social media lies in the key component. Social. Advertising is all about getting the word out about a product/service. In the world of social media, people take on the role of getting the word out, instead of regular advertisers.
