Larson note: How can you, do you measure Social Media? It is certainly in a state of chaos as anyone how engages in it well knows. Marketers have are aware that the rabbles of marketing are turning from a pull to a push model which is controlled but the public at large.

Today’s custom has not only learned to block out advertising and marketing but they are making their own voices heard in various marketing arenas that are out there. It’s not the marketers that need to find the value in and through the noise
