The Major take away from this assignment has been that regardless of how big a corporation/business is their use of social is very important. I don't think in the sense of having the most followers is the main reason businesses seek out other venues of social media, besides their main website, but rather to let their customers know what the company is doing and those that follow can even get rewarded with special offers that otherwise would not be given through conventional methods of email or getting coupons mailed home.
