There are so many other deserving voices out there. So, with the help of some friends, I decided to create a different kind of list. I wanted to recognize people in a way that was not derived from who could get out the vote or who was cozy with a corporate sponsor. I wanted to create a list that would celebrate amazing people who do not normally show up on lists.
I asked some of the people who are regulars on these “best of” lists to recommend a few people who they believe are on the rise.

When asked to pick only one social media platform, 54% of the marketers surveyed selected Facebook. Second place went to LinkedIn at only 17%. Why was this surprising to me?

Uh, really? Social Media Year in Review: 13 Must-Know Statistics from 2013 (Infographic) Much has changed over the last year in social media. Things like the rise of Snapchat, the acquisition of Tumblr by Yahoo, the growing importance of mobile-first social networks like WeChat and Vine, the launch of LinkedIn's widely successful Influencer program and more, further complicate the digital landscape for marketers.

The story would be removed without notification within minutes of it appearing on the site. Reddit admitted to the BBC that the reason for the disappearing posts was due to moderators of the section who placed a filter which automatically deleted posts with the banned words because they didn’t want to deal with the amount of stories submitted on the controversial topics.
Because of this, /r/technology has been downgraded which means it will no longer be a default subreddit and posts won’t appear on the site’s homepage. 3 Social Media Marketing Plans for Every Startup Budget.
