Social media will be a $16.9 billion industry this year, with more than half of revenues coming from advertising, per Gartner. The firm estimates 2012 revenues to include US$ 8.8 billion in advertising — half of the total earnings of social networks this year. Subscriptions and in-app content are an additional source of income, but none as large as advertising.
