The Social Media Revolution
Check out this incredible video by socialnomics about social media. This covers a question that I get asked rather frequently, “how long is Facebook going to be this popular?” or “Facebook won’t be around for ever, why should I be worried about it?” The stats are staggering and only takes a bit of imagination for how they relate to you and your business.
