Rebel Public Relations Celebrates 3 Years of Social Media

Sacramento, CA, January 16, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Rebel Public Relations is celebrating 3 years of teaching businesses how to use social media and social networking to promote their business online more effectively and efficiently.

"It's hard to believe that 3 years ago I started to delve into social media," said Tony Estigoy, VP of New Media. "3 years ago no one was really familiar with social media. It just wasn't part of the vernacular. Now, I'm finding small business owners, who took attended my social media seminars, are starting to teach it to other business owners as well and that's pretty cool".

"Social media continues to grow at such a rapid pace," said Tony, "that it is somewhat of a challenge to keep up with it. It's so much more than Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and blogging. As the download speed of the internet continues to quicken at a lightening pace video is fast becoming the dominant player online and every business needs, or should be, using video as a way to promote their business. It's a powerful tool that can be used in so many ways."

Tony, however, does add a word of caution with video. "Be careful on how you use video. Don't make it too "commercial" or too "polished". Have fun."

Tony Estigoy has spent 1000's of hours researching, learning, and applying social media tools. What he shares in his consultations is practical experience not theory. He continues to offer social media seminars, and private consultations, to business, chambers of commerce, and non-profits.
