		<description><![CDATA[In the fast-evolving world of social media marketing, there are many terms found sprinkled liberally throughout most industry whitepapers and thought pieces. “Advocates,” “influencers” and “engagement” are a few of my favorites.

		<description><![CDATA[Social media has become an indisputable  force in the marketing world, but it is evolving rapidly and often difficult to master.

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the 1990&#8242;s, the World Wide Web experienced an explosive period of growth; it was a renaissance age that helped shape the Internet as we know it today.
