Invest in Social Media (Oldham Post)

I agree with the opinion that it is time for the IR to gain trust in the social media, and invest in them. Social media is not going away. It continues to grow each year, in every way possible. More and more people are starting to get involved in social media, and it is becoming the number 1 way for people to stay connected not only with family and friends, but large organizations as well. It is becoming a giant news feed- whether people realize it or not.

The financial community may not trust social media for one reason or another, but they should not neglect these opportunities in IR. I believe social media has more advantages than disadvantages, and can bring more success than other conventional outlets.
