Social Outlets

This past week in class we got to watch the Facebook Infomercial Parody video on youtube. I thought this was a very comical view to the world many can relate to on all college campuses. But overall, facebook and myspace have gotten a reputation as being a good outlet in the social media world. Many companies have hopped on this ban wagon and made a myspace page. For instance there is a page made for all the super bowl commercials so they can continuously be viewed even after the super bowl. Many other companies have done the same so they can gain more views and make themselves known through this type of media outlet. Although these pages seem to pull a number of hits, there are still those who question whether or not these social ads work.

Here is a post from a non-believer which discusses his reasoning behind why they do not work.

See for yourself whether or not you think these types of social outlets are successful.
