Social media and the workplace

Can only the young handle social media for companies?

At this week's panel discussion of Charlotte's marketing elites, a marketing manager suggested that companies might want to use 20-something-year-old interns to handle social media. Some in the audience disagreed.

Share what you know about your experiences. Who handles social media in your company? What's the smartest way for companies to tap into the social media marketplace?
