I initially just chose Wikipedia and Google Alerts and found sufficient information on both sites! As the week went on, it appeared that there were only a few members working on the project I began to get stressed out a bit. Finally it started to come together and members began to start posting or at least contacted me about working on the project.There was two members that I didn't hear anything from, and decided to fill in and get those sections done myself.
The project helped me to understand how companies use different ways to promote their products and how they use social media to connect with potential customers. It appears that some companies are more involved than others' and I think it just depends on the prestige of the company, whether or not they need to allocate additional resources to social media to improve their marketing.
