What is this? This was a really small assignment I

worked with a colleague in the summer of 2010 for a INFO 600 Course as part of my MBA at Xavier University.

Really, this is a darn simple summary for the complete social media neophyte. If you are doing real research, the most useful information might be the sources at the end. Thx, Shawn
