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.
On the other hand, numbers are blooming on Facebook; Advertising income has risen 66 percent compared to the previous year and sponsored posts have been capped at 1 in 20.

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