Its Saturday, and that means another edition of The Week In Social Media is ready to launch !!!!

Its been another very social week and we have chosen some great articles and posts to share... So don't worry about Content Shock because we have the vaccine !!!

HASHTAGS... I have been told so many times that the most effective number of hashtags is one... Yet my answer to the dilemma is always use enough for your content to be found.
Hashtags are an important tool to make your content visible, to rise above the social noise...

ONLINE NETWORKING... Weeks ago a colleague brought the subject of the different generational approaches and practices to networking, his experience was that the younger generation was great about engaging in social media platforms, yet when social turned face to face the GenX'ers held a clear advantage.
Of course these views are based on his experiences, and no scientific method backs it, but nevertheless, its an interesting thought to ponder.

This week we share not one, but two posts of great interest on the subject of online networking...

U.S. CEO of BeBee Matt Sweetwood published an interesting article about the importance of online vs face to face networking and we believe its a must read to settle the question of... "Can Online Networking Be as Successful as In-Person Networking?"
