Some of you probably remember an older post of mine where I wrote about online ads surpassing TV ads in UK for the first time ( http://stathiskassios.blogspot.com/2011/10/advertise-online.html ). I'm not trying to sound prophetic but take a minute to read about the situation and forecasts about  the ad industry in US right now. Online ads have surpassed print ads for the first time ( http://mashable.com/2012/01/19/online-advertising-surpasses-print-2012/ ). No wonder how the ad future will look like...

Too much social media buzz these days don't you think? Many analysts predict that 2012 will be a turning year for companies as they have started convincing themselves for grasping the delicate fruits of social media. What this means is that there is a growing noise about choosing the right strategy for your start-up or established firm in order to lead customer engagement & boost sales. I spotted a very interesting opinion which I have been implementing in my online marketing tactics in order to save time and money. '' Social media is a dialogue vs. a monologue and if a brand is able to collect opinions real-time in high volume via social channels like Facebook polls, they can save a great deal of money on formal research studies'' - joseph puopolo (techcrunch.com) Read his full article here: http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/15/some-key-social-media-trends-to-look-for-in-2012/

Lots of new media business analysis taking place lately in this blog, therefore I would like to chill things down a little bit and share with you one of my all time favorite movies, based on the 1977 novel by Philip K. Dick, one of my all time favorite sci-fi authors. Hope you can find this movie & watch it! Pretty addictive!
