Social Media; The most overrated (and underrated) trend in business.

In this month’s Fast Company, Robert Safian the magazine’s editor, reported that when a group of 500 executives who were registered for the Innovation Uncensored event, were asked what they thought was the most overrated trend in business, the number one response was social media. When asked what they thought was the most underrated trend, the answer again was Social Media. Surprised? Not really. Social Media or more accurately Social Networking (Facebook, Twitter) can be a highly valuable outlet but marketers must really put their expectations in check. The chances of having "viral" success are very slim and often happen more out of accident then actual intent. "Using social media? That's an overrated no-brainer. Using it in the right way, for your specific business goals? That's a whole different kind of challenge."

Social media is really a word of the mouth today since it gives plenty opportunities on business. I do believe it is indeed helpful in the progress of any company.
