Social media is thought of by many as the most important commercial development since the invention of the internet.
To quote Wikipedia, ‘social media includes web-based and mobile technologies used to turn communication into interactive dialogue... allowing the creation and exchange of user-generated content’.
Sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter have completely changed the way that many organisations, communities and people communicate and market their products and services.
