Best (and Worst) Week Day 3: Facebook, Twitter and Google Year-End Stats

January 5, 2012

Earlier this week I introduced you to Fast Company’s “The Best And Worst Of Everything In 2011: A Mega, Meta Mashup,” which lists the best “Best Of” lists that look back on 2011. They were so kind to narrow down the expansive number of “Best of” lists that I was inspired to trim even it even […]

In yesterday’s post I introduced you to Fast Company’s “The Best And Worst Of Everything In 2011: A Mega, Meta Mashup,” which lists the best “Best Of” lists that look back on 2011.

Over the last week I’ve noticed two interesting developments that could have long-term effects on advertising driven media. Or they may just fade away. I’m really not sure which. Regardless they are certainly food for thought, especially for creative people who are good at generating content. The first is paying people to watch ads. Facebook recently […]
