Two of the dominant trends of the Internet over the past decade, social media and e-commerce, have overlapped very little and without much success.

Plenty of brands set up Twitter and Facebook pages, only to find that marketing to consumers in a social venue does not necessarily spur conversations about those brands.
Does social media sway online shopping?
