Last chance for Apple to stay at the top?

Apple were once at the forefront of innovation, paving the way for smartphones and tablet devices. As the times progressed, the likes of Samsung and other Android based devices were able to catch up and in some cases overtake Apple in terms of superiority. Being the most valuable company in the world may have made them lazy as it allowed for their competitors to catch up.

Many analysts are now claiming that 2013 will be the year that Samsung dethrones Apple. There may not be a better time for Samsung as Apple’s stocks are slowly plummeting from where it once used to trade with unrealistic numbers. With the disappointment of the iPhone 5 and the inevitable arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S4, is there any hope for Apple to retain it’s number one spot?

Meanwhile, Social Media marketing firm Socialbakers have released reports indicating that Facebook saw a drop in it’s user base by a total of 600,000. Is there a correlation between the decline of users from each platform?

Are YouTube controlling the botting scene?

During the early parts of 2012, YouTube was hit with a wave of users who undertook botting on their channels. Botting became a wide spread phenomenon due to the fact that it carried low risks. The YouTube community was in an outrage, blaming one another for using botting methods to increase their views. Google did not personally take a full approach to ban users from botting. However, over time the surge of botting decreased as it was becoming too obvious to see who was using such methods to increase their channel stats.
