Thanks to Augustine Fou for sharing this on LinkedIn. It’s an interesting article, and one that reiterates something I learned from Augustine in class last year, as well as assessed on my own–social media is still figuring out what it’s supposed to be, at least in terms of marketing. Facebook and YouTube are adding enhanced video features, and now live video apps like Meerkat and Periscope are adding some new twists or complexities to the mix. What do you think? Do you this the assessment in this article is on point? Include your comments below.
