All of you who didn’t raise your hand… I’ll assume that means you don’t view yourself as a social media expert… I’m more like you. I have a facebook account, a LinkedIn account a twitter account and so on but I do not live a breath the stuff like my colleague here Mr. McCurry. MIKE… tell us about your social media background and take us into our objectives for this session.
