The quest of spreading New Year predictions continues
Looking back at 2010, a couple of things pop into mind.
The launch of the iPad and the popularity of mobile devices is one of the thoughts.
Social media is the other, and this one is the most impressive.
The vast majority of people I know interact with social networks, be it Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter. They do this on a personal level.
On even a bigger scale, businesses everywhere have turned to social media marketing. It allows them to communicate with their audience while delivering premium information. Social media marketing has led to greater online business development for content producers and publishers.
Simply put, social media marketing has increased website traffic, visibility and even revenue for companies participating in the online landscape.
