  A Soci@l Guide to Using Social Media   In reading Ben Kinney's book "Soci@l", I discovered there are many chapters that I need to spend a lot of time studying in order to begin implementing all of the valuable suggestions. I have a Facebook and Twitter account, however, my concentration at the moment is to improve my blogging techniques, and learn how to create more hits to my ArizonaProperty4u.com web site from the content and SEO techniques. Consequently, while I did read up through the "Effective Blogging" chapter, that is where I have temporarily stopped and intend to concentrate my efforts. Once my blogging is up to par I can then focus on the other Soci@l Media platforms that I feel will be most appropriate for me. One of Ben's methods discussed in the Soci@l book is to hire col... 07/02/2010
