Twitter is all set to rock in the coming year:

An image tells a thousand words:
The popularity of Pinterest, Tumblr and Slideshare will keep on increasing as a picture can tell more than words. Though you cannot ignore the value of a powerful title, content having images is more likely to be liked and shared.
Summing up, it is predicted that marketers will have to keep a close eye over all social media platforms to obtain a better edge over competition. The coming year will be the year of social acceptance which means that businesses will increase the budget allocated to social media marketing.
