In addition to mobile ad, apps, etc., I'd like to hear about any new thoughts / developments on monitoring & measuring social efforts. At the end of the day a sale / donation has to be made. Where in the sales effort can the social aspect be measured or have companies yet to equate social to a sale yet?
