Aside from first hand experience, Mashable is my (and many other folks) primary resource for getting social media news and information.  They are a blog that is primarily focused on Web 2.0 and social media and will be a common source that I cite in this social media how to section.   Truth is, if you check out their site on a regular basis, or follow them on twitter @mashable you probably don’t need to come here to learn what is going on with social media (note – my added value will the culling down the incredible amount of information they and others produce on a daily basis, providing selected articles on topics that I think will be of  interest to people who want to understand social media but who are short on time).  If you are interested in social media though, I highly recommend spending some time on Mashable’s site.
