Two outstanding reports released this week:Technorati's State of the Bloggosphere 2008
and
EMarketer's College Students' Social Networking
Both studies tackle some complex methodologies and manage to create a well done, very readable report that may help your agency or company make more informed decisions when planning social media campaigns.
Combine these reports with Sapient's recently released Brand Marketers' Top 10 Wish List for Agencies of the Future and it does not take a rocket scientist to see the implications!
Studies notwithstanding, social media is clearly a growth market and will not dissipate any time soon!
