The case then appeared pretty strong, at least to me, and it seems even stronger now. These past couple of weeks have seen a flurry of paywall announcements both in the US and in the UK and this week has been a hugely significant one for UK newspaper with both The Sun saying it will put up a paywall in August and the Telegraph announcing its own plans.

Twitter advertising revenues to hit $1 billion in 2014 with mobile dominating 28 March 2013, 9:46AM Twitter is on course to hit global advertising revenues of $1 bn in 2014 and will earn $582.8m in 2013.

I am a huge proponent of creativity, trying new things and entrepreneurialism, but with all the noise around gadgets like Google Glass and smart watches, I wonder if social media is diluting true innovation by giving a platform and a voice to any gadget that labels itself as new?
