Ever heard of the story of the rice crop? The older and riper it gets, the more it bends downwards.
Living by this principle I believe that life is a never-ending learning process and the more I learn the more I'm humbled by it. Keeping my nose low and helping others are my priorities.
I'm no successful entrepreneur nor an excellent sportsman. However, I do aspire to reach for the stars and when I do; it is of utmost importance to be grateful to everyone around me.

However, the most we could do is hope that the cloud companies would hold our private information in good faith. If this can be done, i reckon cloud computing is the next step to unleash a higher potential of the internet

Yes, there are many ways to measure social media and it's returns. The way I like to do it is use the insights provided by the website itself and then compare it to Google Analytics.
For example, on YouTube, I would check on how well (video views, shares, like and dislikes) my channel and videos are doing through YouTube itself. After assessing the channel, I would jump onto Google Analytics. In GA, there's an option to choose from which is the traffic sources. Under that there is social and all the sub headings of social activity. Look into the source of YouTube and see how much traffic it has pulled to your website/destination you want your viewers to be at.
GA breaks down a lot of the information you get and of course before all of these you have to plug in all the required details in GA for it to be useful.
So, mainly I use GA but there are other tools out there like LuckyOrange and Google Webmaster.
I hope my answer helped! :)
