George Herbert Leigh Mallory ( June 18 , 1886 – June 8 / June 9 , 1924 ) was an English mountaineer who took part in the first three British expeditions to Mount Everest in the early 1920s. On the third expedition, in June 1924, Mallory and his climbing partner Andrew Irvine both disappeared somewhere high on the North-East ridge during their attempt to make the first ascent of the world's highest mountain . The pair's last known sighting was only a few hundred metres from the summit. Mallory's ultimate fate was unknown for 75 years, until his body was finally discovered in 1999. Whether or not they reached the summit before they died remains a subject of speculation and continuing research. Mallory is famously quoted as having replied to the question "why do you want to climb Mt. Everest?" with the retort: "because it's there", which has been called "the most famous three words in mountaineering". [1] [2] Recently some questions have been raised regarding the authenticity of that quote, and whether Mallory had actually said it, with the likelihood that the quote was invented by a newspaper reporter. Today, it's getting a lot more crowded on Mount Everest. From 1953 through the 2001 climbing season, 1,493 people have reached the summit of Everest. While this may not seem like a large number, a closer look reveals a startling trend. Number of Summits by Decade 1950s 6 1960s 18 1970s 78 1980s 183 1990s 881 2000s 327 (2000 and 2001 only) In addition, these numbers must be mapped onto the short Everest climbing season which is generally a few weeks in May. The conclusion: it's getting crowded at the top of the world.

Let’s think about this as the place that it is. It sets a stage for marketers to actually engage in relevant social networks and for the audience to welcome them.
This is not about pages viewed; its about time spent. It’s about creating measurements that come in social metrics– not web metrics.
No matter what the obstacles are, marketers still need to be where their customers are, and consumers remain heavily involved in social networks.

Publishers. It’s what attracts advertisers. Higher quality = better monetization, more regular advertisers, The ability to do all of these. Marketers The greatest brands have relationships with their customers. They get established not because they position themselves with messaging, but because they reaffirm it in every interaction with customers. With all these voices… and all that talking going on… its hard to be heard. The the ability for the audience to reaffirm or reject your positioning is magnified.
