Social media has changed everything. When the Web first took off, it wasn’t clear how anyone could make money by putting words on a Web page. Then Google brought out AdSense, competitors rushed in with their own programs and people who produced good content, paid attention to their ads and worked hard and patiently at…
The Internet playing field is up for grabs with a few key players vying for positioning. Bing is gunning for Google. Twitter is gunning for Facebook. And Google is gunning for… well, everyone. Google has attempted to gain market share in the social media space in the past. Orkut never caught on in the United…
