15 Tips to Build a Website that Does More Than Tweet

The latest social media buzz for both small and large business seems to be “I need to add the Facebook button and start Tweeting.” We all know businesses that should know better but are still fooling themselves into thinking they are actually”doing social media” if they add the words “like us on Facebook” and “Follow Us On Twitter” to their website.

Think a Facebook LIKE is all you need? Think again!
