I personally do not follow brands on Twitter or Facebook as I am rather afraid of being bombarded with product related tweets and status related service updates. I did follow a brand for a while on Facebook but their “computer giveaways” were so irritating that I deleted their group with a “god riddance” mumble For many companies, it seems as if digital advertising on social networks is free advertising as well as free reign and many do not stop at one or two promotions but rather go status and tweet crazy 24 hours a day. With possible new restrictions on digital media related advertising, the rope might be considerably tightened on this so called free reign as the higher powers watch what brands come up with.
