Social media data extraction

Social media data extraction
You are expressing an opinion always
. . . and people are watching

Scores and scores of social bookmarking, link shortening, free email, discussion group services and thought patrols are being continuously scanned for links. The data is aggregated, analyzed, bought and sold by the search engineers in quest to connect individual shoppers with the favored sellers.  Your online behavior is being observed and recorded.  Count on it, you are counted.

Those in the know, know.  Seth Godin is known for being in the know. Payola.

Everyone else needs to become aware.

Being watched is nothing to fear. Internet marketing sorta demands attention-seeking behavior. The insider use of data from social media and free internet services is just a fact of modern life. The idea is to be aware of it and use it for your own purposes if possible.
