What is social media?
Social media is information content
   created by people using highly
 accessible and scalable publishing

truth 1:

 social media is not
mass communication.

relationships.
Truth 2:

people connect with
       people.
“uh-oh, the C-word...”
  COMMUNITY
Truth 3:

Relational Roi may not
translate to numbers.
Truth 4:

your audience must
    be known.
Truth 5:

relevancy = whuffie.
