What is revolutionary is the way marketers, consumers and businesses are using the web today.

Communicating and interacting via ever-newer, shinier, bigger, faster media tools and channels is what most of us mean when we talk about “social media.” 

And is this a bad thing? No way. Companies are coming to you, asking your opinion, begging for your attention  - all so you’ll give them just a moment of your time. 

So leave that review, “like” that company on Facebook who offered the great Groupon deal and post a shout-out on Yelp to a company who gave you great customer service. The power is yours.</description><title>Social Media...huh?</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @aurorabrown)</generator><link>http://aurorabrown.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>aurora: Right?
