Guest post by Kate Endress. Facebook has been struggling since its IPO in May. Its stock has been almost cut in half, GM dropped a $10M ad deal, and Google is nipping at its heels with the purchase of Wildfire. Facebook was not initially built to monetize; it was built to go viral. The company is betting on huge advertising growth in the next five years, and many people, including myself, are skeptical.

Monday, Oct. 15, will see me complete six months since I started at MSL Washington DC.

I returned a couple of days ago to the DC area after a whirlwind trip to San Francisco and the 2012 PRSA International Conference.

It can be valuable for SEO , useful as a straight-forward marketing tool , and increase the reach of your message via social media in countless ways.
