The Perils of Copying a Competitor

Description
We’re back from our mid-winter break and tons of great (and not so great) things have been happening in the social media digital world. Let’s start with LinkedIn. Okay, we can agree it was time for facelift but why on earth copy Facebook? Perhaps that wasn’t the plan but it is certainly the outcome and according to many social channels, the reaction is not good.

And if you stick with us, we will also share the five C’s of effective social media as published by Buzz Sumo.
