Going forward in 2012 we'd like to provide you with some occasional round-ups of some of our favorite finds from around the internet.

This week was a big one for mobile. Here on the blog, Mobile Marketing conference chair Jeffrey Hayzlett gave a brief intro to the conference and we talked about mobile ROI. Elsewhere, Marketing Profs talked about Mobile and Tablet trends for 2012.

Some of these trends included: The appearance of online storefronts on tablets and integration of social search and new social networks. Head over to Marketing Profs for the full list.

It's certainly a good bet to be looking at tablet trends as some interesting research this week showed the number of tablet and e-reader owners doubling in recent months. "The share of adults in the United States who own tablet computers nearly doubled from 10% to 19% between mid-December and early January and the same surge in growth also applied to e-book readers, which also jumped from 10% to 19% over the same time period."

In the social media world, many brands started unveiling their plans for the upcoming Super Bowl. Huffington Post had a good post about the Super Bowl Social Media Command Center. Last year's Super Bowl provoked 25% more tweets published around the globe than usual in six-hour period around the event and as we move further and further into a "two screen" world, that number is sure to grow.
