This probably seems out of order, but as we talk about social media this week, both on this blog and at our two Fort Worth area workshops (see post below with dates), I found a couple of sites that offer a decent overview. I had been preparing something of the sorts, but why reinvent the wheel?!
Brian Solis offers this overview:

Leigh Duncan-Durst over at MarketingProfs offers this:

Sarah Dillon also offers a useful look:

Also a new colleague over at Marketing Integrity, David is working through a similar series on SOCIAL MEDIA – you’ll want to check out all his posts. Get started here!
And finally, John Jantsch over at DUCT TAPE MARKETING is a great resource for understanding all of this. He offers a very simple definition of “social media” as well as this post.
Now get in there and get connected!
