It’s now become this generation’s age old blog post. Facebook and how it continues to span the globe, cultures, digital markets, and now is the apparent King in the advertising world.
Zuckerberg interviewing President Obama. Rumors of a Skype buyout. IPO predictions growing by the billions. Creating internal economies to allow users to purchase real world products. Even in essence employing their consumers by rewarding 10 cents them to watch specific ads.
Obviously they are playing in many areas of the digital world and are diversifying their monopolies horizontally.
Concentrating in the digital ad space with Facebook now the King, holding 31.2% of all U.S. Ad Display, most companies are left with no choice but to integrate and play on their courts. With new predictions of Ad spending to hit $8.3 Billion in social media by 2015 alone there is certainly profit to be made but only under the umbrella of our fair King.
You can rarely even navigate to a page without some sort of Facebook link anymore! I’d venture to guess that 51% of EVERY page out there on the World Wide Netwebs is in some way, shape, or form linked back.
Enjoy the keys to the kingdom gentlemen. I mean who are we to complain? Look for our new products to be hitting an app page near you.
Today we were down at Chelsea Market grabbing some lunch and checking out our NYCMate costumes dancing around the streets and we couldn’t help but notice the Vena Cava fashion show that was just ending.
Appropriately enough, I’m just reading about Hipstamatic getting into the Fashion Week spirit with a new super saturated lens called “Chunky”, which is available for free during NYFW. I love the concept to tailor to the sartorial crowd, its fun and festive. Maybe an NYFW map for Fashion Week in the fall?

NYCMate, a member of the MateMate family of free transit apps, is hanging out at Apple and Verizon stores across Manhattan for the iPhone launch today! We paid the 14th Street Mate a visit for lunch…
Usually when you’re giving a cab driver directions, they’re not free.
NYCMate walking out into traffic! Must have been using Google maps for walking directions…
An NYCMate street team member scolds the icon for not looking both ways.

Mmm, Gingerbread cookies!
