Today social media is becoming a necessity to market a company or brand.

Your co-worker is tweeting another is writing a company blog.  Weather it is a company, or you as an independent contractor, either as a Realtor or a sole proprietor, networking in such a way has become a norm if one is to be ahead of the curve.
