As the year wraps up, we're taking a look back at 2011: back in April we enjoyed the Social Media and Communities 2.0 conference in Boston, and June saw us at the Measure Up event, then the summer months saw us working on our redesign and in the fall we launched our rebranding as the "Digital Impact Blog."

In between social media and the digital marketing world continued to evolve. The world welcomed Google+, (and then debated its success) and the new social network was one of the top search terms of 2011. In addition we saw the introduction of Facebook's "Timeline" and the "new new" twitter just launched as well. Zynga's IPO today highlights the continued growth of social gaming. Let's look at the top viewed posts from this blog in 2011:
