'Social-media marketing is a business tool if you do it right,' Mintz said. 'It's about people marketing on your behalf.'

Social media is such a buzz word these days and it’s all a bit silly. Most organizations, businesses, charities (and let’s face it, people) seem to join Twitter specifically because they’ve been told to.

What's It Cost? ROI of social media can be an intangible- The NonProfit Times March 15, 2011: "here's Facebook, Second Life, Myspace, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter and now Jumo.

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) in Baltimore is going through the evaluation process. CRS is one of Facebook's 500 million active users, and also tweets on Twitter and posts videos to YouTube. CRS has a Myspace profile with 3,288 'friends,' although it is not seeing a lot of activity there and managers are trying to decide what to do with it. Deleting it is a serious option."
