What do you think of Citizen Journalism. Can you see how it would help you share your passionate message? Join the conversation by commenting below.

Penny Haynes, Commercial Creation Center, and I had a discussion about using audio and video in combination with social media as a way to leverage business on the Internet.

Penny took an informal poll over at LinkedIn, asking about which social networking sites other business owners and professionals used. The usual suspects were mentioned, in addition to a few that aren’t well know.  The sites discussed were:

• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• Twitter
• Plurk
• FriendFeed
• YouTube

Bottom line, if you really want to maximize your social networking, it’s imperative that you gain your site visitor’s trust and multimedia can do that for you. It’s getting easier and easier to create audio and video. The Commercial Creation Center is a push button system to let you do just that, reach out to your community in a very personal manner.

If you are already using audio and video, feel free to share your experience, what has worked and what didn’t.
