If you've never heard Paul Gillin speak, skip the next few paragraphs, and go straight to the video below. You'll learn a lot.
Paul is a former technology journalist who has become a leading thinker and speaker about Social Media. His first book, New Media Influencers , is the catalyst that moved many businesses to begin using social media. His new book, Secrets of Social Marketing , promises to help even more businesses.
