Suggested Category: Social Media

[KarenB]

Hello Team,

I suggest a category devoted to social media: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

The social media horizon is expanding daily and its impact is huge.

If we snooze, we'll lose on this horizon.

So many businesses don't even know how to get started, let alone maximize their presence on these sites.

I feel that everyone could benefit greatly from a separate category for this very important aspect of our marketing efforts.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Karen

I was thinking we should add one too. Maybe as a subforum of internet marketing at first. We do get enough threads about social media sites to merit at the very least the subforum.

Thanks for bringing it up. Let's see what others say, but I'm inclined to add the new subforum.

I dont think we need another sub category just yet. In the last month, only 12 threads have received a reply in the internet marketing category, of them 3 were regarding social media.

I just think creating a sub category now will make the forum look a bit too empty. Id rather see fewer categories that look busy, than lots of empty categories.

I think it's a good idea, but Gavin has a point too. Maybe we just need to make more of a point to start more social media threads first, and then make a sub category when it's warranted. I do think more discussion of Social Media would be helpful.
