That's a fact. There's so much fucking awesome opportunity around, but there are also a truckload of barriers to doing great work. Some of our own doing, some not. We just need to stay creative and stay excited. Don't let the bastards grind you down - for there are indeed many bastards out there. Most of them calling themselves social media experts. It will take a combination of creativity and resilience to win. Every year is a bit shit. That’s a fact.

Everyone's starting to get up to speed. All agencies are meddling in all areas. With your point about social media-space and digital media-production maturing, I don't agree at all. It'll be Thalia and her friends that show you how to use properly social media. Shirky said something along the lines of' "It's not when new tools arrive that revolution occurs but when society adopts them" Only 1/3 of Britain is on Facebook. And Facebook only really connects you better with the people you already know. This is old behaviour in tools. I don't reckon we're getting to a digital/social/connected/NEW culture yet. We made Wikipedia this decade. And this video is as relevant as ever: http://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_kelly_on_the_next_5_000_days_of_the_web.html With regards to the marketing services industry, you’re totally right.
