Social Media, More than just a Drama Llama.

When you mention social media most people, including myself, immediately think of Facebook or Twitter. Then if you are anything like me you think of all the drama that usually comes along with these sites.  After a few days of not checking my Facebook I get all antsy wanting to log on and check out what is going on with my “friends”.  I hate to admit it but seeing all the chaos on people’s Facebook wall cracks me up.  What can I say; idiots are funny to read about.  Ok, I’m not going to just bash social Medias like Facebook; I actually read an article written by Beverly Macy in the Huffington Post titled “How Social Media helps the 401(k) Investor” and it points out several good things about social media.

For instance, people how may have questions regarding things going on with their 401(k) or statement can now take to twitter, Facebook, or blogs to get answers from others.  There are many ways that social media can be helpful not harmful or relationship ending.  I recommend reading the article and I have posted the link below.
