Industry Commentary
“…if you're a marketer, Facebook was never about you, it's not
about you, and it will never be about you.” (David Berkowitz, 2011)

“In theory, Facebook is well-positioned to address something that
the Internet has been notoriously bad at supporting: product
discovery, according to Forrest. ‘But the key challenge is that
Facebook is about socializing rather than shopping.’” (Gavin
O’Malley, 2011)

“Facebook and Twitter have now reached the point of being deemed
“ordinary” media platforms... Actually, you can throw LinkedIn and
YouTube into the ordinary consideration set too.” (Michael Wiley,
2012)
