Over the past decade the term ‘social media’ has gone from geek buzzword to global phenomenon, with people communicating and connecting with each other via various platforms such as, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn. Social media are real-time, global and interactive communication tools allowing people to broadcast their views, messages, images and events to the masses. However, this is not just a platform for old friends to reunite or your best friend to share unflattering photographs of you to hundreds of people. With so many people participating in social media there is a huge opportunity for businesses to communicate with the consumer. Facebook, the largest and most popular social network currently has over 500 million members, or for a growing business, 500 million potential customers.
