The Great Social Media Debate

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, You Tube…three years ago as a new college grad, I had never heard of most of these words, much less did I think I would use them as a part of my career. And, I especially did not think they would be  as much of a part of my day to day life [...]

To Spec or Not to Spec?
