Why These Social Media Counts Will Make Your Boss Cry

Social media is booming! Well, in many parts of the world. Here, many are still skeptical about it. I’ve heard some of my friends who think that it’s just a waste of time and a hazy way of empowering their business. Yes? No? I don’t think so.

You have a business and you still ignore how powerful social media is. It’s cool too! And your competition is already out there, present in the web and engaging people. Why? They’ve seen these numbers and blew their butt off their executive chair.

Social media may look just like a form of entertainment to some but it has widely changed the game about how companies approach their communication needs and goals. It is here in the long haul.

I think it is both. It entertains and informs us thru various channels and it's something that many businesses are not yet exploring. It's free, I don't know what's keeping them.

We all know that Today's Internet is very powerful. Social media and web 2.0 sites are playing a BIG part in this revolution. It is indisputable that the Social media sites are generating lots of dollars. I think the only reason stopping many businesses out there from exploiting the Internet is because they are a bunch of people who needs to be educated. Once they know the power of Internet, I bet they will all flock over.

maybe the advertising companies are blocking social media until they could find a way to harness it themselves before selling it to the corporate giants here in the philippines. if companies realize how economical social media can be for their marketing program, advertisers might loose their market. but thats just an opinion. lol
