"2014 was without a doubt an eventful year, and the social web has taught us a lot about all that’s happened. Whether it’s learning that mobile has officially gone from second screen to the screen, or that Kim Kardashian’s major assets actually have nothing on the Rosetta Comet Landing, social sharing has definitely given us a new perspective on how people understand and react to events in today’s highly connected world."
