Data Doctors Radio Program

Social Media as a Search Engine

The incredible growth of social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter have created powerful networks for communication, but there is an even bigger benefit to all those random conversations: SEARCH!

Whether you 'Tweet' or not, you can make use of the billions of dispatches posted every month to learn more about a product or service that you are interested in purchasing.

Unlike static review websites that can contain old information and give you no ability to interact with those that have an opinion, searching via social media can get you in front of active conversations about what is important to you.

Listen in as the Data Doctors open your eyes to a whole other world of incredibly valuable information!

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on Facebook .
