Questions?
Is your consumer using social media 78% of marketers see social media as a way to gain a competitive edge, but fewer than 8% have budgets devoted to it. 88% of marketers who use social media plan to spend more on it this year, and 31% of those said they will spend "significantly more,“

Questions which confused us  Traditional Media Vs SMM? Is it same as Social Marketing ? How is it different from online media? An online article which allows us to discuss ,is it SMM? Why would someone join  SunsilkGOG when we already have orkut? Is it not spamming?
Questions that arose!! How does a SMM professional get his target customers on the net? Is it not invasion of privacy? How will such large amount of data be searched? Where all to search? How exactly is this data used? How is money generated from SMM? What is the track record of SMM?  How large is SMM? How big will it be? Is it sustainable? Is it a fad?
