Someone should have been making sequels. We could have had Facebook Kills the MySpace Star or YouTube Kills the Quicktime Movie Star. Or maybe just the Internet Kills All the Non-Internet Stars. With Facebook becoming more ubiquitous by the moment and SEO becoming the go-to formula for long-term internet success, will they soon leave behind other forms of marketing and advertising?]]> http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/10/27/will-seo-social-media-kill-other-types-of-media-marketing/feed/ 84 http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/10/24/social-media-small-business-return-on-relationships/ http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/10/24/social-media-small-business-return-on-relationships/#comments Mon, 24 Oct 2011 07:00:47 +0000 Gabriella http://level343.com/article_archive/?p=5102 Since I've been living in the South, I can't help but fall in love with people like political strategist James Carville who announced, “It’s the economy, stupid”.

While much of science fiction is still just fiction, we’re a whole lot closer to the idea of the Collective then you might think. It’s already here, in the form of the Internet. “Big deal,” you say?

It is the ultimate snack bar for informavores, serving up tasty bit-sized nuggets to tempt, tantalize, follow and consume. Therefore, it’s blatantly obvious when a part of the snack bar closes. I don’t know about you, but I hate it when that happens. Little frustrates me more than stumbling upon a social media gravesite: the dead remnants of a poorly thought out social campaign. You’ve seen it, too, I’m sure. ]]> http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/09/05/avoid-the-social-media-graveyard-social-with-a-plan/feed/ 120 http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/08/15/website-metrics-your-business-site-is-in-good-condition-what-now/ http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/08/15/website-metrics-your-business-site-is-in-good-condition-what-now/#comments Mon, 15 Aug 2011 07:00:28 +0000 Level343 Team http://level343.com/article_archive/?p=4645 You’ve taken your website through the evaluation process.

I don’t care if it’s a Facebook killer or if it will wipe Twitter out of the game; I don’t have any stock invested in any of these companies.

These cookie cutter articles tout all the many wondrous, fantastic reasons you should hop on, jump in and climb on the bandwagon. Well, we say “enough”!
