At Folk Media, we want to think about you first. Because, in the end, without you we would be nothing. So, everything we do here is meant to be focused on you and your understanding of social media and business.

That said, we know that you don’t have much time. In fact, you probably only have about 15 to 20 minutes a day to browse the Internet while you’re not working, paying bills, running a family, or having a social life.

See? We get it.

In order to give you the social media nuggets that you want, we’re going to occasionally post some social media one-liners, quick hits of what is going on in the realm of social media.

We want to focus on good content, too, so we will include some food for thought, too.

Here are today’s quick hits:

• The Internet has over 26 million “mommy bloggers” and they play a pretty big role in the advancement of social media.
• If you think that Twitter cannot be integrated into business and personal careers, think again. Here are 10 professions that actively use Twitter for marketing and communication.
• Losing customers can really put a damper on your business. Have you tried implementing a social media customer retention program?
• According to a recent study by Oxygen Media, one in five young women check Facebook in the middle of the night. Are they addicted to Facebook?
