  1. Is it possible that social media can make an established firm look unprofessional?

    I think there's a limit as to what kind of businesses join the social media rave.

  2. Thanks, Ryan. Some interesting facts there! We'll take a quick look at social media later in the semester - particularly LinkedIn.

  3. Good point, Rokzanna! Social media does construct a particular kind of identity for the user - which is why it is important not only to decide whether or not to use social media, but also to think carefully about which forms of social media will help you achieve your goals.
