Filed under: Social Media

Here at Terra Ferma Media, we’re all about trying to make social media easier to understand for businesses that haven’t yet taken the plunge.

But take the plunge you should – implemented correctly, the rewards of social media for your business can be great. We’d be happy to hand-hold and talk you through the confusing bits.

In the meantime, some random facts and information…

  1. Facebook has more daily page views than Google http://ht.ly/3apVB
  2. Twitter has over 190 million users  http://ht.ly/3aq5M updating 65 million times a day
  3. Facebook has over 800 million users each with an average of 130 ‘friends’  http://ht.ly/3aq0K
  4. LinkedIn has over 70 million users http://ht.ly/3aqlm
  5. The New Twitter interface allows you to view video and images without leaving the page http://ht.ly/3apXe

  8. Coldplay are the most followed UK act via social media – but three times less than Lady Gaga (22 million on Facebook alone)http://ht.ly/3aqpT
  9. Many smaller businesses are keen to start working with social media http://ht.ly/3aqt3 but the vast majority don’t know where to start. They need social media management help.
  10. As someone we hold in high esteem said recently, “Thousands of your potential customers, people who live in your area are on Twitter and Facebook today. You’d have to be incredibly arrogant or a complete idiot to not even try to connect with them” (Nigel Botterill)

Question is, are you in danger of appearing “incredibly arrogant” or “a complete idiot” ?

Hopefully neither – and thankfully, we can stop you becoming either!
