Welcome to the Social Circus
Being online is not enough. Having a website, a product, a voice, or an opinion means nothing unless it is found by others. From the word go the name of the game has been about the tools for finding stuff, and the means for being found (by those same tool and their users).
Google is clearly dominant, and looks to stay the way for the while, but the younger social sites are uprooting not just how things are found, but through which channels. The impersonal ads, or powerhouse search engine optimization campaigns are quickly being replaced by 'likes' and 'check-ins'. Why? Because when it comes down ot it, we're all more likely to listen the opinion of someone we know rather than an ad agency.

Now that critical mass has been reached (over 800 million people use Facebook!), the social media sites do not just have a quality advantage, they have the sheer numbers to back up the fact that social media is the premier channel for promoting. Anything. Not just your personal posts, but much more importantly (for us), your business.
Now Get to Work
The numbers are astounding, and show no sign of letting up. People cannot get enough of online socializing. Not only are social media visitors highly loyal, they also tend to stay on the sites for very long amounts of time. Much longer than they would for any store or business site. Do you need to make sure your business or product or special is broadcast? Then get in front of those social eyeballs. Better yet, get them to Like you. Them and their friends. And their friends. And their friends...
Love, Hate
Some people love social media, some hate it. However, from a pure business marketing perspective, using Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Groupon, StumbleUpon, Pinterest, foursquare, and so many more is a no-brainer. Control your campaigns, target your audiences, and at the same time work your Likes organically. At the very least, be present, and look good. It's a lot less expensive than traditional media, and you're able to reach who you want, when you want, where you want.
No Free Lunch
Sounds great right? It is — but there's no such thing as a free lunch. Managing your social presence requires the will and discipline. It's not something you want to start, and then forget. Nothing quite says 'later' than a dead blog, empty wall, or 3 Likes. Your competition is only a click away, you'd best look good.
