ROBEN JIBREEN   Reflection Notes Before plunging into the articles on social media, I had mixed feelings regarding its utility and risks. I perceived social media as a tremendous instrument for business growth, consumer involvement, and brand building, consistent with the opinions expressed in industry debates and media coverage.
