Facebook To Take Number 1 Spot in Display Ad Market This Year [REPORT] Very well interest targeted Facebook Ad ! #wow. Facebook Phone, INQ Cloud Touch, Debuts. Mobile Is Facebook's Top Priority In 2011. 3 Facebook Mobile Trends to Watch This Year. Facebook CTO Bret Taylor has said that a lot of the company’s focus this year will be on mobile. When Facebook declares an intention in any direction, people take notice, but for marketers, this may mean that 2011 is the “year of mobile,” a designation that has been tossed around every year since 2006 or so. It’s unthinkable for a marketer to ignore Facebook, but that said, there are a lot of mysteries and frustrations around the platform.

Display ads don’t perform very well there, for instance, and a lot of consumer data is kept under wraps. Facebook’s mobile operations are even harder to get a handle on. The company’s mobile app, for instance, doesn’t at the moment provide any opportunities for advertisers through traditional venues, such as display ads. But things are changing. 1. Last November, Constellation Wines worked with mobile marketing firm Augme Technologies for a program that offered consumers a mobile site accessible via a 2D barcode or a text message. 2. 3.

Facebook Addiction. Facebook & Psychology. Facebook Is the Largest News Organization Ever - Joshua Gans - The Conversation. By Joshua Gans | 8:27 AM March 11, 2011 Upon reading the title of this post I suspect your reaction is, “Really? I didn’t even know it was a news organization.” And that reaction is precisely why many people look with disbelief at the extraordinary estimates of Facebook’s value. Facebook is not some plaything. It is a fully fledged news organization on a scale we have never seen. News organizations do two major things, commercially speaking: they use news to grab attention and then sell that attention to advertisers.

In the old chain of news production, a piece of timely information was researched by journalists, sifted through by publishers, and disseminated. As traditional news organizations faced the maelstrom of the digital revolution, many noticed that it was not just the stuff that editors had deemed socially important that was drawing in readers. Facebook is what became of the “hyper-local” notion. In this regard, Facebook is delivering on the first task of the news organization. Report: 96% of Americans under 50 are on Facebook - Facebook. In a shocking report, a study executed by the Bank of America (BofA) indicates that some 96% of Americans under the age of 50 use Facebook. A total of 418 participants were included in the polling. Such a limited sample size will surely bolster calls that the survey was statistically unreliable, but the persons questioned were supposed to “roughly resemble” US demographics as a whole. Of course, Facebook has a rule that no one under the age of 13 can use its service, so it could be assumed that either BofA only interviewed persons over the age of 13, or that the company adapted its data to weed out any youngsters.

On the other side of the coin, there are millions upon millions of underage Facebook users, according to ConsumerReports, opening the door to the possibility that BofA’s data needed no correction. That aside, what the study reveals is far more important than the hot statistic that it produced: Facebook is racing towards market saturation in the United States. Facebook: Now 700 Million Strong?

Facebook the Labor Union of the Future? - Employment Law. Is social media going to replace labor unions? Will there be Facebook labor unions? After recent developments in the Middle East with groups of people banding together on sites like Facebook and Twitter, it seems that the revolution may not be televised. Instead, the revolution might come in the way of a status update on a Wall. Are the social media tools making unions and collective bargaining groups obsolete? It's a conversation topic that is spreading, as people begin to contemplate what current systems will become obsolete in the future. Perhaps that means that large labor unions have always jumped the shark, and are no longer necessary. "One person can make a difference; a network of people can make a revolution.

It's true that the internet has made it possible to form groups of like-minded people in the blink of an eye. Related Resources:
