clear that technology is drastically changing the
way people manage their lives personally and
professionally (O'Murchu, Breslin, & Decker,
2004). The information from this article is based
on the author's personal experiences with using
social media professionally, is not comprehensive, and should not be considered the ultimate
authority on this topic. Hopefully, some of these
tools may effectively increase one's visibility in
the field, help the busy professional stay current
on trends and issues, and streamline the flow of
information. More information is available from a
variety of resources such as books (Ruh, 2013)
and, of course, online.
