Buzzflikr Blogs: Dan’s Pollen Count

A few stories broke this week concerning the rapid growth of both Twitter and Facebook. The latest figures put Twitter growing at over 1,300 %… can you believe that!? Facebook has been growing steadily as well and continues to reporting 149% growth in February alone. (as compared to Feb. 2008)

Now, how does this affect you - the brand, marketer, or whatever you may be? GO TO WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE! It make sense right? You want to gain or keep more customers, and social networking reaches out to an active audience that has a higher chance of seeing you than other traditional methods. Creating a Facebook Page [such as fb.buzzflikr.com] taps into the huge audience (175 million active users) that you can constantly reach out to. On the other side, Twitter [tweet.buzzflikr.com] is the micro-blogging revolution that allows ‘followers’ to subscribe to your updates… which turns into X amount of viewers instantaneously.

What I’m trying to say here in so few words is that social networking is a huge new resource to tap into. Twitter and Facebook are just two examples with incredible growth and opportunity right now, but there is a plethora of ways to ‘connect’ in this exciting ‘web 2.0.’ I’ll go over more in future posts.
