Hi there.
I'm Yael Rozencwajg.
I post here daily resources and tools about internet marketing, social media and digital advertising for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
Let's have a good conversation on www.yaelsworld.com where I'm trying to share some thoughts about the importance of social utility in our lives and why do we need to engage in conversation with each other.

It looks like the evolution of social, mobile commerce has begun. Social startup, Strings, is taking on the e-commerce market by combining social networks and your online shopping habits. Strings is a social tracking and filtering program that aims to curate it’s users social interactions and experiences and convert them to online sales for retailers.
Strings seeks to benefit from social networking trends popularized by Facebook and Twitter. Strings users share and view online purchases with each other. The site, which launched Friday, tracks users’ activities on Netflix, YouTube and Amazon.com, and displays their rentals, viewing habits and purchases to a list of followers. The company takes a cut of sales when users buy products from participating sites.

In both 2009 and 2010, companies in North America tended to rate all the inbound tactics studied as below average in cost per lead. Respondents rated direct mail most cost-effective among outbound strategies. Still, only 37% said it generated leads for less than average.
Nielsen recently released a new report that officially documents what many of us already know, just never substantiated through data. According to a study published at the end of January 2010, Nielsen observed the online social activity of consumers around the world and discovered an 82% increase in time spent on social networking sites in December 2009. On average, users spent more than five and a half hours on popular networks such as Facebook and Twitter in December 2009. In December 2008, users clocked just over three hours on social networking sites.
The impact of bloggers and real-time media has had a profound effect on how designers and media participate in Fashion Week. To better gauge blogger impact and influence on Fashion Week, I started monitoring the online discussions and articles two weeks prior to all the events and continued through the end of the runway shows via Biz 360 Community.
