When social media first began gaining in popularity it was only used by people for personal interaction. It was strictly among friends. But, very quickly, businesses large and small began to see the potential of social media for business, and why not? After all - here were all of these people congregating together in one place actively voicing their interests and opinions and personal information for the world to see. There was no demographical guess work anymore - everyone was searchable. Better yet, people actually wanted to participate with businesses in social media. From a marketing standpoint, social media opens the door to one-to-one marketing that has been closed for so long.
