A chance to firm up Wikipedia page on social media marketing

It looks like social media marketing has made the Wikipedia. Check it out, the page is asking for citations and verification! It is amazing how quickly these tools have been incorporated into traditional PR and marketing activities - now the standard.

"Social media marketing is a term that describes the act of using social networks, online communities, blogs, wikis or any other collaborative Internet form of media for marketing, sales, public relations and customer service. Common social media marketing tools include Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube. In the context of Internet marketing, social media refers to a collective group of web properties whose content is primarily published by users, not direct employees of the property (e.g. the vast majority of video on YouTube is published by non-YouTube employees)."
