"How The Huffington Post ate the Internet..." Via gdecugis, Martin (Marty) Smith |
According to AP-CNBC poll, 57% of Facebook users say they never click ads. ...
The last bullet is mine not USA Today's, but hearing the CEO of uber-agency WPP say he has increased his sizable Google spend while flattening out client's Facebook spend on SquawkBox last week is a telling sign of Facebook's commercial difficulties and Google's resurgence. Dominant ideas in Internet marketing aren't guaranteed a future (can you say MySpace). While it is way to early to hang the RIP on Facebook Friday's IPO may be more of a cultural hit than business model victory since the jury on F Commerce remains out.
