Recession Boosting Social Networking Adoption

Patrick Kitano is founding Principal of Brand into Media, a unique strategy group working with corporations and organizations to develop social and media-based strategies that engage hyperlocal communities.

I post all hyperlocal articles first on my "The Local Network" column on Street Fight, a hyperlocal business journal, and then archive these articles here on Media Transparent. I also contribute to Social Media Today, Daily Deal Media, The Customer Collective, and Quora.

I speak on the future of social commerce at conferences associated with social media, local advertising and real estate.
