Living in California during the early years of the Social Media Revolution, she was an early adopter of Twitter and WordPress. In a bold move, she asked her record company to take down her expensive artist website so she could replace it with her own WordPress blog. Initially this raised questions but it soon became clear that blogging and tweeting were the future. Beeching writes two award winning blogs, getting around 10k readers a day. She also works as a social media consultant.

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or media:
“Throughout the 1980’s, we did hear too much about individual gain and the ethos of selfishness and greed. We did not hear enough about how to be a good member of a community, to define the common good and to repair the social contract. And we also found that while prosperity does not trickle down from the most powerful to the rest of us, all too often indifference and even intolerance do.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
