Why do so many companies have twitters and youtube's now a days? - General

I have been noticing every company has atleast 1 twitter, facebook, youtube channel to spread ads. Its annoying to me cause my channel is cluttered with these company ads. One is from Cinemax and almost gave me a seizure with the flashing lights. And half the time these "ads" dont spread much. They are just to make the "War of the stores" more Stupider. DO you agree???

Dangit Bobby, get off the computer.

Because they're trying to be "hip" and reach a younger audience.

So more people are exposed to them. Derp. That's the whole point of advertising. [editline]10:49AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Panda X;24466704]Because they're trying to be "hip" and reach a younger audience.[/QUOTE] This too.

cause its the popular thing to do. popular = cash

TV ads reach the old folks. My grandpa is shocked at how the ads for stoves POINT to youtube

dangit bobbeh what did i tell you about complainin about bold new advertisin methods.

Putting a useless poll option in a poll will make everyone vote for that one, even when threatened with perma ban ("Comedy HURR option that gets you banned").

They use Youtube and Twitter and such to show people what they're doing at the moment so they don't get 50 emails each day asking the same thing. It's simple.

They can connect with a younger market and that younger market can advertise for them. You "like" a company on facebook? Your friends will see that, thus spreading the company's reach.

[QUOTE=BobbyHill;24466810]ok. I just added that to see how many people STILL judge me by my username[/QUOTE] Well this pretty much confirms it.

Because it's basically advertising for free. Why not do it?

Social Networking is an easy way to reach a mass population where you can stay in touch with your following. Naturally it's just easy with all this. You get for free what you used to have to pay for.

The companies do this to be "hip" and "down with da kids daddy dog, ya dig?"

This dangit bobby crap is getting old, real fast.

cause the internet is really cool and hip!

dangit booby fuck I meant bobby

Dangit Bo- On topic, because the companies are trying to be hip and reach a younger audience

They're just trying to reach more people. Like if somebody likes their page on Facebook, it shows up for all their friends and it's sorta like a chain reaction. Helps the company grow.

Interacting with the potential group of customers.

Free publicity, what else could you ask?.

Also your third option in the poll is not funny.

Advertising.
