7. AS A RESULT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ,MARKETS ARE NAKED . “ Now the consumers can not escape content driven consumer action and engagement phenomenon ” Gunjan W. “ In many ways, the Internet more resembles an ancient bazaar than it fits the business models companies try to impose upon it. Millions have flocked to the Net in an incredibly short time, not because it was user-friendly -- it wasn’t -- but because it seemed to offer some intangible quality long missing in action from modern life . ”

17. “ Broadly, if a print product adds value to the Web, as in the case I've described, it will remain attractive. If it doesn't (for instance, with short, low-design stories that are as easy to read online as they are in print), it will probably struggle . ” Chris Anderson
