Damon Heinz
**********@*****.***
My name is Damon. Otherwise known as "FooBear408". I'm a top contributing editor for www.ps3blog.net. I also co-host a top notch podcast every week called "PS3BLOGCAST', as well as maintain and constantly tweet for @PS3BLOGNET. I also cover every major gaming event in the Bay Area and cover E3 annually. As you can imagine, social media takes quite a bit of work, some technical skill, an ability to write well and the discipline to maintain it all. Many businesses do not have the time or are lacking some of the skills to do this well. Some people would argue that unless these platforms are maintained regularly and kept dynamic and fresh that it is better not to do it at all. It is also important that businesses understand web etiquette and best practice when making posts or submitting articles and videos. That's where i come into play, I'm good at what i do. I maintain my own blog, run and produce my own weekly podcast. You have to be connected and not be afraid to embrace new technology. I'm ready to jump in...are you?
