The surge of advertising in more ‘alternative’ social media, such as Tumblr, seems to have caused worrying within the Facebook camp. Indeed, the seamless incorporation of promoted tweets or tumblelogs proves to be satisfying for both platforms and advertisers.

Trying to find balance between revenues and community growth maybe a tricky business! Do you agree?
