This document discusses social media and outlines a social media action plan. It begins by defining social media and explaining why it matters for businesses. Social media allows for open conversations that encourage participation and connect people. It impacts brands' reputations and shifts power away from traditional media elite. The document then presents a 3 part social media action plan: 1) Listen to social media conversations to understand opinions in real time, 2) Engage in discussions to provide customer service and source ideas, and 3) Influence conversations by expanding touchpoints and measuring campaigns to stimulate recommendations. Continuous learning is important to leverage social media effectively.
