Almost every commercial today has facebook and twitter buttons at the bottom/addresses in them.  The newspapers are talking about them and TV/movie writters are adding these social media to their scripts…

Today many companies are trying to figure out how to use social media to expand their brand.

And most marketing agencies are telling these clueless companies to give stuff away for free.

While this may or may not be a good idea for most businesses it is a great time to be a consumer. (I would say that is really has to be looked at from a cost effective stand point.)

So if you have favorite brands, products or services check them out on Facebook and Twitter and see if they give away stuff for being their fan or follower.

In todays economy everybody wants something for free.  So go get yours!

Happy Holidays!
