Who hasn't heard the phrases "Friend me on Facebook", "Follow me on Twitter" or "Link to my blog"?If you haven't, then you are part of an ever growing minority. No matter your age, gender, or profession, social media is taking over...in a huge way.
In Andrew Lipsman's April 15th blogpost, (Breaking News (and Making News): Twitter Surges 131% in March to 9.3 Million U.S. Visitors!), he points out, "It just goes to show you how much social media, and specifically a site like Twitter, has become woven into the fabric of our daily media lives."
More and more Americans (5 million more in the month of March alone) have started to "TWEET". And the most interesting thing is that the demographic driving this growth is the 25-54 year old population (read my 4/17 post).
Facebook is enjoying a similar user explosion. Lev Grossman of Time Magazine recently published a tongue in cheek article, Why Facebook is for Old Fogies giving the top ten reasons why the 35+ generation is signing up and logging in. According to statistics reported by the social networking giant, there are more that 200 million active users and more than 2/3's of these users are beyond college age.
So if you think that your clients, friends and family aren't "tweeting", "friending" or "blogging", then you are kidding yourself. This is the new communication vehicle and if you don't get in for the ride, you will be walking by yourself and talking to yourself :-)...
If you would like, you can follow me on Twitter, and on Facebook. I would love you to join the EXPLOSION!!!!

ReplyDeleteOnce I thought about things like: why such information is for free here? Because when you write a book then at least on selling a book you get a percentage. Thank you and good luck on informing people more about it!
