Question New to using Social Media for Business - what do you recommend?
Hi All,

I just started to use Social Media (twitter, linkedIn, Facebook) for my business. And I must say, I love to find out how everything works. I made my welcome and landing page, connected my linkedIn profile to facebook, use twitter en connect it to my facebook.
But there must be more!
What do you, experienced or even guru, recommend reading books, blogs websites or .....

Thanks!
Melissa

I learned a lot by attending the Social Media Success Summit this year. I don't think that the recordings and handout materials are available for purchase, but I highly recommend checking out the speakers' blogs for excellent tips.

One of my favorite books is Duct Tape Marketing. He also had a blog.

If you're looking for new approaches to business and integrating your social media marketing and building relationships then some of my recommendations on great blogs to read for this Web 2.0 world:

Mashable
Darren Rowse
Seth Godin
Tim Ferriss
Chris Brogan
Tamara Weinberg

There's also the Social Media Examiner, Mari Smith for Facebook specifically. Most of the folks I listed above are some of my absolute favourites to follow, they're big names in their own right and who I consider to be thought leaders in their respective areas and where I strive to be soon! LOL!
