The Russians have come! The Russians will be back … often ... because (surprise, surprise) it seems to have worked. Their emphasis will be (once again) on social media along with some controlled noise via their own TV outlets. Facebook, the global behemoth with tentacles in as many countries as have mosquitoes, got burned by first dismissing the idea of social media contributing to the political discussions … then saying, well, maybe it did “some” ... and now admitting it did lots.

So, once again, it’s time to take a look at how the social media “edge” Internet companies – a.k.a. Facebook, Twitter and Google et al – impact media today.
