LinkedIn Groups, Facebook Pages, spam and self-promotion

The great thing with LinkedIn Groups and Facebook Pages is that they are started by people you can connect with, and they allow exchanging ideas, asking questions and so on, especially LinkedIn Groups.

I’m a member of several LinkedIn Groups and of course in many of these groups, there are people who “spam”.

Let’s define spam here as adding links to your own company, services or whatever without any value for the discussion but only for SEO or self-promotion purposes.

What will be the next big thing? That we get smart about this big thing: social media?

Since I’ve been in the interactive marketing industry, I have seen so many predictions, even from leading research firms, that proved completely wrong, that I don’t often write about them anymore.

When I worked for a publisher in the interactive marketing and ICT industry, we knew how much marketers loved data.

They needed forecasts and predictions to base their decisions upon and find a sense of security in a world of emerging media and fundamental changes.
