Social media marketing is rapidly spreading in every direction you can imagine. Facebook especially is a huge social networking site (as we all know and have come to love) that will be a major social utility for many years.

Social Discovery Site Tagged.com has More Engagement than Facebook
May 6, 2012 By 3 Comments
It’s fitting that a “Social Discovery” site holds people on the page longer than Facebook. In today’s ever-increasingly over-connected virtual world, we are no longer as fascinated with the daily machinations of our friends and family. We have become good at shuffling through pictures of little nephew Timmy sliding into third base with a quick Facebook like or clicking the retweet button when a friend declares their local sushi bar has the best Sake in Long Beach.

I watched a movie with Bruce Willis called Surrogates. Willis is a detective who uncovers a conspiracy to destroy the nation’s dependency on surrogate androids. The film was based loosely on how society lives their lives around technology and how people depend entirely too much on it. With that said I checked my Facebook status twice, answered an email and texted a funny picture of Darth Vader to my cousin in Arizona from my home in New York; I love my phone.
Facebook Goes Public – How This Decision will affect Facebook and the Overall Stock Market?
April 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment
The world’s number one social media website, Facebook, filed for its initial public offering (IPO) earlier in February 2012. It didn’t come as a surprise for many in the industry, as any private company in the US with more than 10 million US dollars in assets and 500-plus stakeholders is required to file for detailed financials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
What makes the whole affair extremely interesting is Facebook’s financial value (somewhere between 75 to 100 billion US dollars), makes it the most anticipated IPO debutant for an internet company since Google’s IPO filing in 2004. And once Facebook’s market shares are out in the stock market, it will be interesting to see how it affects the Facebook culture to develop and ship features without any external interference or security.
