The Fresh Advertising Trend | Facebook Advertising & Privacy Challenges | News Article

Lots of things are happening in the online marketing and advertising world. I found a great article that informs you what the top facebook executives are planning and the leaked Goldman and Sachs details on profit numbers . Also included is the Commscore results of where people spend their time, and where advertisers are spending there money. At the end of the day the inescapable result is that Google still grossed more in a month in 2010 than Facebook did all year, even though people spent more time on Facebook.

Will Facebook Be the Death of Groupon? | Facebook Deals | ReachLocal | OpenTable | News Article

“Hello, inevitability. Deals for Facebook launches today in Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Diego, and San Francisco, offering users the opportunity to cash in on city-specific discounts through prepaid vouchers. The Deals tab has been active in those cities since last month, but the actual discounts start rolling in today.

Somewhere out in Chicago, Groupon is kicking itself for not pulling off its IPO sooner.”

Here the author mentions Reachlocal:

“Intriguingly, Facebook isn’t diving into this high-margin niche alone. Instead of setting up specialized sales forces in its launch cities, the site has simply teamed up with OpenTable (Nasdaq: OPEN  ) ,ReachLocal (Nasdaq: RLOC  ) , and other existing, city-specific discount providers.”

The above are two snippet of the entire article
