BizQuiz: Are you a social-media maven or a Web wipeout? (Answer 5C)

Taking the BizQuiz? This is the answer to question 5 of "Are you a social-media maven or a Web wipeout?"

5) C—Wrong.

What disease are you wondering about?"—and answering them. But what about a personal way to contact you? Don't be afraid to share a professional e-mail address with people.
