Would you ask a seasoned pro to do that, or a 22-year-old unpaid intern? Now, think about how many Facebook & Twitter followers you have. Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands? You're allowing whomever runs your social accounts to speak on behalf of your company to ALL of those people, often daily! Do you really want that to be an intern? Exactly.
