As a public affairs officer, I live and die by the power and force of Facebook.
This enormously popular and powerful social media site is where I maintain connections with many of my friends and professional colleagues, many of them I have not seen or heard from in years.
That is why I am stunned when I stumble upon colleagues in this business who refuse to "jump onto the facebook bandwagon."
I also heard from some, that they will just wait to join when they are ready. But social media is not like the rest of the internet. If you don't join now, you'll just have a lot more to catch up when you finally do. Who has the most amount of friends on Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, etc. It's not like the internet, where you can just buy friends. They come with time so you better be online now gathering them, and quality ones I might add. Frankly, social media marketing is getting harder and harder every day. The internet replaced door-to-door, but tomorrow, door-to-door social media marketing will surely return. Just you wait and see.

It was not until early last year that I also enlisted in the social media army.
