PR Daily shared a list of 25 quotes regarding the power of social networking. I think this list is pretty fitting after our MPC Evening with Industry event, and with all of us looking for or landing internships.

Although this article was written last year, it still resonates due to the fact that more schools seem to be adopting iPads while others are banning the use of iPads.
