Social media is no more a buzz word. It's just business as usual for most companies especially those who have embraced social media. But in all this social media world people have gotten into the rat race of competition for fans, followers. Most companies judge their return on Investment based on the huge number of followers or fans. Let me get this straight to you. This is absolutely not the way to go about social media.
