Is Social Media Really Worth Your Time?

To put it simply, yes: you’d be a fool not to take advantage of all the free opportunites the Web has to offer, according to Steve McKee of BusinessWeek.com.

It’s Here to Stay – Sure, not all networking sites will survive, but online social networking as a medium is here to stay. Now’s the time to jump in.

Dividends – If you can sign up with one new social networking site per month, you would be ahead of your competitors by 90 percent.
