Nevertheless, Internet is where we can find the details of our favorite movie, the exact place where your favorite actor was born, who said what and when, and of course everything about the latest product or service that everybody has been talking about lately.

According to a report from Gartner, worldwide Social Media ad revenues could reach $16.9 billion dollars by the end of this year, which represents an increase by 43.1% compared to 2011. Likewise, BIA/Kelsey recently stated that by the year 2016 U.S. Social Media Ad Revenues will have reached as high as $9.2 billion.

Can you guess the reaction of the board of directors? And in the midst of this storm of opinions and mixed feelings, Community Managers and Social Media buddies are trying to stay alive. As the proverb says “A watched pot never boils”, so the information and opinions that circulate shouldn’t affect us too much. Of course we should […] read more
