I find the external blog “How social media can be used by social enterprises?” very interesting because we have recently learnt about social entrepreneur, and I find it really meaningful when social entrepreneurs are devoting their time and effort in order to make a difference in our world.

In this blog, it has mentioned several of ways of how social enterprises can benefit from using social media. It highlighted that by using social media social enterprises can make partnerships, identify financial contributors, promote missions, etc. Since social enterprises might not earn a lot of profit, it is very reasonable for social enterprises to use low cost social media like network to help their firm develop.

This blog has also remind the social enterprises about some of the features of a social network that enterprises need to know, so that no unnecessary problems will be created by using social media for example, the transparency of social media means that all the actions are visible, so firms have to be really careful about what they are doing, and do not do something that is inappropriate.

I find this blog very useful as it identify the benefits social enterprises can get by using social media, and some points the enterprises need to keep in mind when using the social media.
