What is All the Buzz About?
Social networking has changed the way people communicate. Globally, people can connect in an instance.
Social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Blogger, YouTube, & LinkedIn allow users to create on-line communities.
More recently, businesses are using social media to create "buzz" and build awareness about their organizations and/or products.
