There’s definitely such a thing as too much information – especially when it comes to the internet. You whip out your laptop and go online with the modest ambition of answering a simple question, and the next thing you know you’re buried in an avalanche of opinion, trying hard not to suffocate.

It’s not necessarily that you can’t find that answer you need. It’s that, in your research, the act of reading through the world’s accumulated knowledge on a topic inevitably highlights a whole world of issues you’ve never even thought about. All of a sudden you’ve got more questions than answers, and the uncertainty can be crippling.

This is especially true when it comes to social media marketing: the area is so new for so many that sorting sound advice from unsubstantiated guesswork can be a major challenge.

So, here are some of the top social media blogs for helping your company get along with social media. As social media is playing an ever-greater role in the marketing strategies of many companies (whether they be large or small) – and as more people are using social media on their laptops, ultrabooks, tablets, and smartphones – it is important to make sure that you can target your prospective customers through social media
