VERY IMPORTANT POINTS.
Many make a mistake starting with selecting tools. Social media is not about Facebook or Twitter.
Social media is about two-way communication with real people online. And communications practices have remained unchanged.
I recommend you start with defining your goals , audiences and the message prior to choosing the new media tools you want to use.
