Social networking seems to be getting back its sanity… let’s see if humility is far behind.
Incidentally, I’ve been invited to attend this and sit on a panel:
A Debate: Social Media Is Rampantly Monetizable vs. No, It Never Will Be
Even though banners and buttons inhabit social media just as they do older forms of online media, doesn’t mean that old methods of digital advertising are what will make social media as easily monetizable as online properties of old. While some believe that a flood of online advertising is a matter of finding social media advertising’s silver bullet, others believe that this most personal of online spaces will always make social media difficult to monetize. Online advertising experts hash it out.
