Why monitor social media?
Over the past few years, the concept of "social media" has rapidly become an important vehicle for people to share ideas and express thoughts and opinions. What started as a collection of blogs written and read by a small subsector of the population, has now emerged into a diverse media set used by the masses. More than ever, consumers are getting information on current events, products, and other individuals directly from social media.
Forrester Research predicts the market will grow to a $3.1 billion market over the next 5 years. Meltwater Buzz is a pioneering product that expects to grow rapidly in this new and open field!
