		<description>Eventhough this article is from the beginning of 2010 it is still relevant. Small businesses that are trying to get themselves educated on the social media should certainly read this article. The advisors of the small business such as us have a great resource to point our clients to. Thanks.</description>

		<description>Brian, thank you for this interesting analysis and view of social media. But I think that the shown statistics are not quite realistic. In my opinion social media are a little bit underestimated. I think it&#039;s hard to measure the usefulness of social media for business as it is a matter of various circumstances regarding the different kinds of business.&lt;br&gt;It depends on the customers, on the type of the product/service, on the business sector, the right choice of social media etc. I believe social media would always be of help to ANY kind of business if the right media is chosen wisely, summing up all specific circumstances about a business. Where there is willingness and motivation, there comes along success..Don&#039;t you think?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mel&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:mel@socialpowerweb.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;mel@socialpowerweb.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Small business&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. Often we forget the little guy, the SMB, in our discussions of the comings and goings of the Internet marketing industry. Sure there are times like this when a report surfaces talking about their issues and concerns but, for the most part, we like to talk about big brands and how they do the Internet marketing thing well or not so well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2. The Center for Media Research has released a study by Vertical Response that shows just where many of these ‘Main Street’ players are going with their online dollars. The big winners: e-mail and social media. With only 3.8% of small business folks NOT planning on using e-mail marketing and with social media carrying the perception of being free (which they so rudely discover it is far from free) this should make some in the banner and search crowd a little wary…….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;www.onlineuniversalwork.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.onlineuniversalwork.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>
