Socialmedia.biz is a great blog to read regularly if you’re serious about writing for new media. (And if you’re not, why are you here?)

I have reservations about the writer’s reference to “social Media experts,” since the field is evolving so rapidly, but the concept of a company seeking professional help is sound. Enjoy.
