Some people think that it’s just a matter of luck, others think it’s the result of hard [...] There is a lot of talk in the online world about the importance of social media and the need for companies to start making use of this resource in their overall marketing strategies, e.g. Social Mindshifts for Traditional Marketers or Study: Retailers Shift Marketing Dollars Towards Social Media or Twitter Is Better Than Facebook For [...] As recently mentioned, I strongly believe that certain necessities in life are excessively overpriced, so my question is, how do so many people own cars and homes of their very own?
