Making the Most of Your Social Media Activitites

Marketers and would-be Business Social Networkers: this article, Viral Content-Why We Share Some Things and Not Others, is a studious examination of what we already know but sometimes forget -- blatant advertising as status posts for your business will not generally be shared.
