will be there.

i'll be there so long as you skip the beginner/basics and dig in a bit past whether or not your premise is right or wrong. I'm assuming you are right - tell me what's next.

How will the future look, how will all of this be managed?
on 28/8/08
How will we get into (or create sustainable) conversations about expanding standalone advertising budgets into comprehensive media plans where social networking is a necessarily justified category?

Social networks are becoming increasingly popular. If you do not have the desire, you do not need to register there. Your privacy will be protected.
on 7/8/09
you are absolutely right!
on 21/10/09
I will be there so much time as the beginner skips / basic and to dig in a small past or not his premise is correct or incorrect. I suppose that you are right - he says to me what it continues.

Commenting on the findings of the report, author Sean Corcoran, a Forrester analyst, said: "Now more than half of adults aged 35 to 44 are in social networks. 70% of online adults, ages 55 and older, tell us they tap social tools at least once a month; 26 percent use social networks and 12 percent create social content. As a result, social applications geared toward older adults will now reach a healthy chunk of their audience."

While social networkers above 55 years were essentially 'spectators, those aged 35-54 could be described as 'joiners' and 'creators.'
