Prioritizing what’s meaningful, relevant and emotionally charged
Social media is growing rapidly, making it a critical factor in Internet Reputation Management. Technorati estimates that 75,000 blogs are created daily, with 1.2 million new posts that often include consumer opinions on products and services.
