I’m very good at ignoring ads on the internet. Never even clicked an ad from twitter or FB.

Social Media has changed everything and I don’t really think for the better. Thank you for sharing this infographic.

I admit that I’m one of that 90% that checks out peer reviews of products (including this site, thanks).

Wow! Fascinating stuff. I particularly found the 90% online review stats remarkable. One wonders how much of this is due, in part, to our increasing reliance on technology in our personal lives, leading to social isolation. Gone, it seems, are the times when personal, face-to-face recommendations from friends or family were able to sway our decision-making. While this may allow us to be more objective, one cannot but be worried over the effect of this loss of social interaction in our lives.

Any one trying to run a business would probably be well-served by following marketing trends! Today, you would probably go under if you didn’t use Social Media, for instance.
