What Does It All Mean?

Social media has the potential to shrink the world to levels only dreamed about by great science fiction novelists and their fans. The industry has been and continues to be a growth industry. While there is a huge opportunity for success, there are incredible barriers to entry for entrepreneurs. It offers marketers massive amounts of information to better understand their customers and competition as well as proven channels for communication with their user-base. The companies we focused on are behemoths and they were highly dependent on external funding in their early years.

There are currently major issues that negatively impact the user and things don't seem to be improving. No reasonable person with any business acumen would tell you to dive in and expect success. It is going to be very difficult to be a living David in this land full of Goliaths.
