Social Media-
Examples of Social media are websites like facebook, linkedin, blogger, myspace, and twitter. These sites enable internet users to connect with just about anyone in the world and to publicly post virtually anything they'd like. However, what is your preference? Does your preference change depending on what you are searching for?
Myspace is not used as much in the corporate world. Facebook is used by companies, but varies depending on the industry. Linkedin is more for professionals as themselves, rather than companies individually. Blogs are open to anyone, but often run by those representing their company. Twitter allows users to update 140 character messages either directing people to websites or other twitter account messages.
For me and I believe IRO's as well, I look for credentials in order to bring validity to what I read. The amount of people following a twitter account, amount of people following a blog or the amount of friends of a facebook account helps establish this validity. However, there is always that question in my head of whether or not this is the OFFICIAL twitter or the OFFICIAL facebook of a company.
My preference for search credible information through social media is facebook and now twitter. What about yours? Where do you search for information on companies and what do you use to build that credibility?
