Take a look back at the last year and you can not help but notice a strong trend for social media having a large impact on everyday life.  As well we’ve seen time and time again how it has had an impact on major events often being shared or Tweeted to friends and followers.  Michael Jackson’s death, G20 riots, Vancouver Canuck riots are just a few events that took place offline but shared around the world online via social networks.  Of course there is also a business spin to all this online activity that can have a positive and negative impact on a business, take Research In Motion, it has been well documented how they Waterloo-based company went dark during what is probably one of their worst moments in company history.
