If Facebook enters the web search market, it would mean &#8220;gloves off&#8221; for Google as the two will battle for web supremacy the following years.</p>
<p>I also do agree that Facebook will leverage its social impact on the world for financial reasons that will adopt its own currency and loyalty programs. What I don&#8217;t believe will happen is the banking or government predictions.</p>
<p>Take a look at the infographic below on the future of Facebook. What are your predictions for the company?</p>

We&#8217;ve been doing it for so long that people simply associate Endagon with social media and other types of organic web marketing.</p>
<p>Our friends at Social Fresh recently designed a pretty interesting infographic that highlights the current state of worldwide social media marketing agencies.</p>
<p>The image answers questions like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Where are they based?</li>
<li>How big are they?</li>
<li>Who do they target?</li>
<li>And more&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>Take a look at the infographic below and let me know what you think of Social Fresh&#8217;s findings. Does it hold true against your assumptions?</p>
