Social Media and Small Businesses

Small businesses and their marketing are at a disadvantage. With the explosion of Twitter, Facebook, social media and Web 2.0 the gap between large corporations and small business have become much larger. These are the problems and facts you, as a small business decision maker, are facing (From StickyBranding.com):

• "In 2011, only 36% of small businesses are using social media for their marketing. "
• "Looking at the adoption rate of social media in a business context, more than two-thirds of 30 to 49 year olds are using social media. That’s the core age group of B2B decision makers. "
• "If two-thirds of your buyers are using social media, it’s a pretty good indicator you should be too. "
• "Even though the general population has jumped into social media with both feet, many businesses are hesitating. The challenge is it’s so new. There isn’t a clear path for how businesses should drive revenue through these platforms."

What is web 2.0?

"The term Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information, sharing, interoperability user-created design, and callaboration on the World Wide Web." -- v7n.com

Whether Web 2.0 is qualitatively different from prior web technologies has been challenged by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee.  He calls it "Read/Write Web."  But whatever you want to call it, it has made its mark.
