New media has a unique ability to serve an array of functions based on what is being represented. The Harvard Business review recently featured an article on how top brands use social media to build trust between themselves and their consumers. Twitter and Facebook are effective tools for these brands to enforce and broaden their identities as well as enhance customer relationships.

How does new media work for the brands, businesses and non-profits with whom everyone doesn't already have a seemingly-innate association? For the little guys, social media seems to mainly increase familiarity with who they are and what they do. It's sort of as if they're the infant versions of their "elder" name brand counterparts. Rather than enforcing their brand's identity, they're creating their ...
