What is Social Media and how can businesses can use them?
1: Social Media Means Social Networking
Social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, have become great resources for finding new customers. But to get these networks (especially Twitter) to work to your advantage, networking is crucial. Your prospective clients search for companies with similar interests and services to their own and support them by “following” them or “liking” them. The idea is that those companies will return the favour — ultimately leading traffic to both sites, and helping each company grow.

The World Wide Web is more dynamic than ever these days, which means
it’s becoming more and more important that your clients are frequently
updating their sites. Fresh content keeps people coming back for more.
Facebook fan pages need daily new content, and interactive websites such
as a blog should be updated at least 3 to 4 times a week. While this
may sound aggressive, clients will benefit by recognizing the importance
of keeping their site content fresh — without it, people will stop
visiting.
This all sounds very expensive to me, too much time wasted and a greater workload for maybe little return.
A bombardment of self promotion from twitter, facebook etc.
“Come and see my new products on my new website! 
“
You know as soon as that pops up in front of you on your screen the
prospect of having a tooth removed without pain relief is more tempting.
This constant relentless blitzkrieg of drivel makes me want to
surrender. Quite frankly if your modus operandi is purely to get
noticed, because you think you are interesting, you need to get a life!
Put some of your energy into saving the planet (or a Panda) and not just
your ego. Better still get out there and make real friends and become
interesting.

This constant bombardment of self
promotion from twitter, facebook etc. is driving me nuts. The Internet
is a more sophisticated tool than this. It is a travesty to allow it to
become a vehicle for pure unadulterated, egotistical spam.
