social media: reference "world domination".

It seems like a stretch to me, to imagine that ad campaigns have really made the long leap to social media. It isn't something that I think about, despite my near debilitating addiction to Facebook.

The Forbes article really hits home that advertising is inescapable, even on the internet. To think that viral videos, such as the "Will it Blend?" series by Blendtec, actually affect sales is mind boggling.

Though not a fan of videos online I can't lie and say that I haven't been enticed by advertising on the web. On the side panel of Facebook I am greeted with 'personalized' ads, some of which I can admit (without shame or hesitation) to clicking on.

I seem to get quite a bit of greek clothing sites (of them I have liked this one best) and a slew of trendy clothing sites (of whichthis has been my favorite).
I also keep seeing jewelry (specifically engagement rings) in my ads and I wish Facebook would quit being so pushy.
