Engagement is the buzzword for online marketing, but engaging with consumers becomes more and more difficult for this very reason. Consumers become more savvy and filter out information they are not interested in (which more than likely includes a lot of marketing messages) within their social networks. <br /><br />Facebook and Twitter have been in the news recently for unveiling a new advertising structure that includes redesigned brand pages as well as content-generated Facebook ads instead of just the text-based ads. <br /><br />Here is a good article on Facebook's new advertising structure: (http://adage.com/article/digital/facebook-warns-brands-scale-social-free/233105/)amyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154297052254136238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157399324614446746.post-70703166317625162872012-03-13T10:41:25.402-07:002012-03-13T10:41:25.402-07:00I think although Americans might need to use filte...I think although Americans might need to use filters to prevent information overload, they could be able to tell and differentiate the good and bad resources. But sometimes, in counties like China, government blocked too many information, and information that people could see is basically biased. and thanks for this, people are becoming lack the ability to self filter.Beixi Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15616795752341413089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157399324614446746.post-30512589282769753652012-03-12T19:18:19.768-07:002012-03-12T19:18:19.768-07:00Thanks for posting this Belinda!

We've also discussed how filters were used prior to networked media. For example, the newspaper uses a sort of filter in that a reader is only subjected to material that the writer or editor has chosen to report on and print.<br /><br />In addition, a person's filter capabilities are limited by their own personal knowledge. My mother does not have have the ability to use the vast amount of filters available on Facebook because she does not know how to use them. While Americans must use filters in order to sift through a large amount of data and prevent information overload, people in other countries may only have access to information that has already been filtered by their country's government.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278075804973150763noreply@blogger.com
