I am really looking forward to hearing how General motors is planning on tapping into the social graph this year. How is GM finding the gold at the end of the viral rainbow?
Big advertisers like GM are helping to transform the face of social marketing with their creativity and willingness to try new things. GM is one of those companies that has proven this year that Social Media is a great place to be for brand advertisers. I applaud them for seizing the moment and their willingness to try new things.

We applaud them too. We see a marked change in the industry. Fortune 100 firms are stepping in, with both feet.

You will certainly see a change in the face of this industry and a change of attitude. I expect the smart companies will grow up fast. The High School people will be left behind.
