Greetings! This week at Trend Hunter we featured Social Media Mapping as a pro trend. Brands are using data from various social networks including Facebook and Twitter to track and map sicknesses, languages and consumer behavior. This data provides important information for brands about not only who consumers are interacting with, but why and where these interactions are taking place. Enjoy!
