eMarketer is one of the newsletter subscriptions that I highly recommend. Read two headlines each weekday, if something interests you, click to read more. Some days I don’t click through at all, but often I do. When I do, I usually find something very compelling and useful, such as the graphs here show.
Each graph also has an article, and yes, it leads to an offer for a white paper or the like, but the article can really start your mind focusing on particular areas that you need to think about to increase success in your Internet marketing strategies.
The graph on the left shows what users of websites really want with regards to your content and functionality. You can see how interactive and social capabilities play a significant role in their wishes.
This is just another subtle hint as to why you need to get involved in social media!
Okay, I’m now joining Facebook.
Blogs are social media, as are communities like MySpace, Facebook, and Squidoo. Forums are social media that have been around forever, it seems. Social bookmarking sites, such as Digg.com, are also social media.
