One out of 10 U.S. adults now publish blogs, up from just 5% a year ago. Among 18- to 34-year-olds, the rate is twice that, with one out of five publishing blogs, up from 10% a year ago. And who’s reading all this blog materials? Well, everyone!

Traditional media takes weeks to build brand awareness and months to build preference. The Internet can make your brand famous literally overnight because when an idea takes off, it can propel a brand or company to seemingly instant fame and fortune. For free!

Another advantage of Social Media as a marketing tool: It’s green.
