Editor's Notes
Media (communication), tools used to store and deliver information or data
The term Social refers to a characteristic of living organisms (humans in particular, though biologists also apply the term to populations of other animals). It always refers to the interaction of organisms with other organisms and to their collective co-existence, irrespective of whether they are aware of it or not, and irrespective of whether the interaction is voluntary or involuntary.
Many of you attending completed a survey so we could provide you the information you needed. It revealed that you are very busy, which really isn’t a surprise to me. 25 responses with 56 clicks, which means many of us work outside the home, are responsible for most of the household responsibilities, own a part time business and support local causes.
So the questions is how can social media improve my life, improve my impact or give me time back? Is social media worth our time? Time is at premium and we need to fit in time for self care.
This is where you currently spend you time using social media.

Share the cards you received with somebody else you know. Q2 – how many people have a card from somebody they do not know. Q3-raise your hand if you would consider buying or supporting the product, service or cause on your card? Q4 – by a how of hands who has a card with a website listed regarding where they could learn more?
Any entity or person sharing information through social media have varying levels of reach and influence. Without the constraints of physical barriers or physical distance anyone with access to the internet can share information which can spread very easily.
Highly accessible – no regulated. There is still a big divide amongst certain
Scalable – low cost entry that can grow with a person or business.
Web-based and mobile – mobile is emerging
User Generated – power to the people, fragmenting markets, highly specialized niches,
Co –creation of value – Consumers have a more powerful voice, Make your voice heard, vote with your dollars as we can do our own research and gain information from our peers about products, services and causes. JUST GOOGLE IT
