In response to Lindsey Pinault

Lindsey posed the question "How else do you think technology has changed the way products or services can be marketed? Do you find internet advertising more successful or less successful?"

Technology has enabled companies to use social media to reach their customers. Personally, I don't think that the amount of likes on a media like Facebook correlates to a successful marketing campaign. I do admit that a lot of useful information can be distributed and confirmed through social media. Twitter is how word got out that the new XBox coming out will a "always on" system that in order to play a game, you must be connected to the internet. In this case, the leaking of this information put off a lot of customers from buying the product in the future but it shows the power that social media can have on influencing opinions. What are other examples of either negative or positive social media marketing?
