“Is Twitter worth the trouble? Who has the time to read all those Tweets anyway?” This is a question that I hear very often from non-Twitter users, and I understand where they are coming from.

As 2010 winds down, we look back on the year that was. Through triumphs and tragedies, the World came together as a community to celebrate – and donate. Social Media provided us with more information and more outlets to help support people in need in Haiti, Chile and Pakistan, for example. And don’t forget Movember. Almost entirely socially driven, Movember raised over $59 million worldwide for prostate cancer research. Over the past 12 months the World has shown how we’ve been able to use the power of the social web to come together and make a difference. Social Media’s scale and scope make it one of the most amazing tools in the World. It enables us to be more connected with each other than even before. With that said, which Social Media sites do Canadians visit the most? Facebook took home top prize on last year’s list. Where will they stand this year? Which new sites have emerged?

Yes, it is important to embrace Social Media, but it is an art and a science. A poorly executed Social Media campaign can do more damage than good for your brand and your reputation online. Here are ten common Social Media mistakes that companies often make.
