Richard Branson started his first business in the 1970s with a record company. Now Branson has over 300 companies around the world. While many company executives tend to stay away from having personal social media profiles Branson believes that it is a good thing to communicate through these sites. Branson not only has his own blog but he also uses Twitter, Facebook and the newest social media site Google+.
Branson was asked questions in an interview about why he uses social media. He says the main reason is because there are so many Virgin companies worldwide but that his main focus is with philanthropy. Branson says he has seen how social media can spread awareness about how to use busniess as a force for good.
He also uses social media to share his life lessons he has learned in the business world and other times he might just tweet about his thoughts at the time or what crazy adventures he is getting into at that time.
Social media is used for a lot of things, it's really good to see someone who knows how to use it and uses those skills well "D
