Editor's Notes

  1. It takes many forms – text, image, audio and video. The key is that USERS , rather than organizations control and use media, often at little or no cost. It is a powerful force of democratization. The network infrastructure enable communication and collaboration on a massive scale.
  2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFZ0z5Fm-Ng
  3. Governments are using Web 2.0 tools mainly for collaboration, dissemination of information, e-learning, online forums, and citizen engagementPoliticians are using social networking extensively
  4. a really savvy ecommerce entrepreneur will marry SEO best practices to their marketing efforts to get the best results.SEO and SMO, or Social Media Optimization, go hand in hand!
