That's juts a fancy way to say that they started to become very focused on smaller and smaller brand...more
Only yesterday profitable social networking was associated with ways to keep in touch with friends from high school and college, or, in some cases, I suppose, prison.But the word 'profit' conjures up thoughts of monetary gain and that's precisely what the founders of a new Social Networking site envisioned when they created their site.

I will state this once and the rest is up to you, "Hogwash." Was that harsh?The truth is marketing is a learnable skill that is not dependent on intuition or some genetic predisposition although many respond to marketing as if it were something you are either born with or not.What's more, I have never encountered one singular source where every answer can be found in regards to marketing.
