From Different Worlds - Social Media

It's amazing how fast technology moves these days. It's almost impossible to keep up with. I was just discussing with a friend the other day about how five or six years ago almost no one used text messages or even had the option on their phone. Now, it's almost the main form of communication for a lot of people. I got my first computer in high school about eight years ago and only used it for school work and listening to music. Now we use our computers for absolutely everything.
One thing that has caught my eye lately has been the Social Media trend. Even just a month ago I was sitting in my kitchen with a group of friends thinking that things like Twitter and Blogs were kind of nuts. I'm only 25 years old but sometimes I can act like I'm way older. In the last month or so I have embraced twitter and picked up blogging again.
A couple of weeks ago I convinced my family's business Garrison Law Firm (where I work) to embrace it as well and create a Facebook page for the business and to start a blog. When I first suggested it you would have thought I was from Mars or something. After a little explanation of how things like Facebook and a blog could really help advance the company's name my dad (the managing partner) agreed to it and I created the Garrison Law Firm facebook page. I am also in the process of creating a blog for the firm as well.

Social Media is obviously the future of promotion and advertising. In fact, it's probably not only the future but the present. So many companies focus on television ads and print ads. It seems to me that Social Media like facebook would be a no brainer. It is completely FREE to set up a fan page and it isn't very expensive at all to buy some ads on facebook.
