My point being, if you're in a place where very few people are engaged on social networks, the <em>bulk</em> of your time may be better spent elsewhere. I don't necessarily think that's even common. However, I do know that each community has its preferences, so whereas you'd think "everyone" uses Facebook, you may find that varies from place to place.

I am a reporter in a small town (biggest broadcast network for Montana but still small) and social media is imperative. People want to see your packages after you have aired them, and a great way to get them there is with a facebook link or an email link to your blog. I know your statement may be pointed at print media but social media is just as important small town as big city!  I would disagree with the statement that social media is a huge waste of
