Facebook has ruled social media for years. So I find it interesting that after so much research into the value of Facebook "likes," no true measurement has emerged. But I can definitely see why it is a tricky thing to measure, since a lot of a brand's content may not even be seen by people who have "liked" it. Interesting to think about though!
I can see why "like" content is worth big money. Liking a brand really is an invitation to "send me free stuff." But setting standards for social media can get tricky. I don't really know where that is going but it makes me nervous.
Where can I listen to that song by the Israeli couple about their daughter named "Like"?
