The typical ISM gets more put on their plate every month, with no signs of “Job Description Creep” easing up, or any relief just because car buyers are spending hours and hours on sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, DealerRater, Insider Pages, Kudzu, Yelp, AutoBlog, Jalopnik and other social media sites…
