Research and Markets: Social Marketing & Strategies – 2012: ComScore Has Outlined That 1 in Every 2 Minutes Spent On …

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/l6krqd/social_marketing_a) has announced the addition of the "Social Marketing & Strategies" report to their offering.

Social media has heralded a new era. It is very much the end of business as usual and the beginning of adaptive engagement. The incorporation of social media into business practices is now nonnegotiable, yet it remains a medium that gambling companies are still, for the most part, just adjusting to. Some are actively pursuing social media strategies, to various degrees of success, while others are approaching the concept passively and reluctantly.

Most companies start with a groundswell of activity - primarily on Facebook and Twitter. Quite often the initial rush then turns sour for any number of reasons including numbers of fans/followers, a lack of uplift to the core site or a focus on ROI instead of understanding the new measurement mindset that is required for social media efforts.

At this point, quite often, social media is relegated to the it doesn't work pile. However it is not that social media doesn't work and add value, it is that many efforts made by companies to date quite simply haven't been good enough. There are 7 billion people in the world, of which 2 billion are internet users, and more than 1 billion of those use social networks, 1 in every 5 minutes spent online is now on social media sites, and comScore has outlined that 1 in every 2 minutes spent on mobile internet in the UK is on Facebook alone.

How you take advantage of these changes will define your iGaming Business in the future.

Internet curbs: Rajeev Chandrasekhar's letter to PM

On the Internet censorship issue, MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar has requested Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to withdraw India's proposal to the United Nations for control of the Internet through a 50-member inter-governmental body

BANGALORE, INDIA: Internet censorship has become a buzzword these days. As the Centre is seemingly hell-bent on imposing stringent restrictions on the Internet, activist groups of different hues and orientations have been up in arms, protesting such moves tooth and nail.

On May 17, there was the case of blocking file-sharing websites in the country, which came up at the Madras High Court that witnessed an order against some torrent websites being passed. The move led to many Internet Service Providers (ISPs), including Airtel and Reliance, blocking their own set of websites.

It was later revoked following protests and an appeal from ISPs to unblock those restricted sites. Anonymous, a hacktivist group, took to the streets across several cities in India and brought about awareness among citizens on the burning issue.

In this background, Rajya Sabha MP from Bangalore Urban district, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, wrote a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on May 15 with regards to India's proposal to the United Nations (UN) for control of the Internet through a 50-member, inter-governmental body.

The proposal, in his words, is an assault on our citizens' freedom of speech. "India's statement in the UN in October 2011 regarding government control through a United Nations Committee on Internet Related Policies (CIRP) over the Internet is inherently against the open, democratic, inclusive and unhindered growth of the Internet," states Chandrasekhar.

"It harms India's reputation, has been submitted without a prior public consultation with multi-stakeholder groups, and therefore needs to be withdrawn."

Later, in a letter dated June 1, 2012 addressed to the PM again, the MP expresses his regret over India not withdrawing its proposal at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and the Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) in Geneva.

Chandrasekhar's argument is that India's refusal to withdraw "yielded the worst possible results, wherein countries with dubious record on human rights and democracy have publicly aligned their positions to that of India during the review of the implementation of the outcome of WSIS in Geneva".
