Someone did mention Twitter and another mentioned that it isn't an "essential." That may be the case but the ability to reach people through various social media platforms is essential in my opinion. I think that the way this generation views social media for their personal lives is very different from the way they will need to view it professionally. As a journalist and online community manager, I believe there are essential interpersonal skills and writing skills that jobs like mine entail and you will not get them by blogging alone. You have to interact, and and we need to encourage this interaction and teach what it takes to engage our audience.

I'm apalled at our interns' lack of knowledge in these areas -- these are things that can cost a company hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But what I've found is that the speed of updates and interactions provides an accelerated way of learning many of the techniques that make online social skills a driving force for making contacts, maintaining relationships with readers, etc. @Mindy,
