Social media marketing is currently lead by posting your business needs and products on Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. But are these 3 "BIG" leaders of SMM really worth the buck?
Social Media Marketing came to being in late 2000s as a new trend of marketing your products online via social media. It was predicted that these 3 BIG social media giants with a combine membership of more than 2 Billion internet users will challenge google monopoly in online marketing. But it has not yet happens?
Mostly Social Media is used by youngsters with influential minds but very little monetary power. Thus even if you generate lots of likes through social media, it is very unlikely that you will generate sales through this medium. Saying so I still accept its a very good medium to market your brand among the customers of tomorrow.
Social media and particularly Facebook has been the target of Forrester Research who says that as per research "Facebook is failing the marketers"
Thus Facebook is still a nascent stage to be considered as a real advertisement solution for established brands.

:Cricket World Cup 2015: Afghanistan Qualify for world Cup
Afghanistan beat Kenya by seven wickets, at the Sharjah Cricket
Stadium, to earn automatic qualification to the ICC Cricket World Cup
2015.
Chasing a meagre 94, after the Kenyans were dismissed in 43.3 overs, Afghanistan went through several anxious moments but were home with 175 deliveries to spare.
Afghanistan lost Mohammad Shahzad (1), Asghar Stanikzai (9) and Nawroz Mangal (19) cheaply and were reduced to 34 for 3 in the 11th over. But steady batting by Mohammad Nabi (46 not out ) and Hashmatulla Shaidi (13 not out), who put on 62 runs for the fourth wicket, saw them through at 96 for 3 in 20.5 overs.
Earlier, left-arm spinner Hamza Hotak was the pick of the Afghanistan bowlers, finishing with figures of 10-1-19-3.
After 55 matches in the Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Championship, spanning just over two years, Afghanistan won the last match in the league to join Ireland in qualifying for the cricket's biggest spectacle for the first time.
Had Kenya won the match, then the UAE would have made the grade.
Ireland and Afghanistan placed first and second with 24 and 19 points respectively in the World Cricket League Championship points table.
The bottom six sides -- UAE (18 points), the Netherlands (18), Scotland (15), Kenya (10), Namibia (4) and Canada (4) -- along with Hong Kong, Nepal, Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Uganda get another chance to qualify when they participate in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2014 that will be staged in New Zealand in January/February 2014.
Afghanistan will be in Pool A of the tournament -- to be staged in Australia and New Zealand from February 14 to March 29 -- alongside four-time champions Australia and co-host New Zealand, as well as Bangladesh, England and Sri Lanka. Qualifier 4, also part of Pool A, will be confirmed in February next year, during the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier New Zealand 2014.
Pool B comprises South Africa, India, Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and Qualifier 4.
