Interesting presentation. Well done. I dig the social media. But I’m curious about the statistic, “14% don’t trust advertisements”. This study from Nielson puts the number in the US at 55%: http://tinyurl.com/dks8h6.

Do you have a source for the 14% figure?

Anyone who considers social media a crock is either seriously out of touch with reality, trying to get a rise out of you or just plain stupid.

They probably think the whole ‘Internet’ thing is a fad as well.
