Danger Of Misquoting
[SUMMARY—Is it semantics?]
(GBR) Blogging and a social media strategy is not the same as social networking.
Blogs are online spaces provided by the likes of Blogger, Wordpress and Typepad.
Social media strategies are how you use these online platforms (internally and externally) to disseminate information, promote discussion and/or share examples of good practice (amongst other things like making it faster, easier, cheaper, sexier etc.).
Social networks are dynamic (usually) personal spaces such as Bebo, MySpace and Facebook.
