Your Customers Are Social. Are You?
January 22nd, 2009
It’s staggering how the growth of the online community is exploding daily. I mention this because while I have some clients that are reluctant to update their website, they’re even more reluctant to talk about any kind of online presence.
Today’s post is simply this: if you’re not online and beginning a social media dialog with your customers, you’re missing one of the easiest, 
authentic ways to reach them. Don’t believe me? Consider this:
“Microblogging site Twitter now has approximately 4M-5M users, the majority of whom joined in 2008 and have contributed to the site’s 600% growth in the last 12 months, according to the first “State of the Twittershpere” (pdf) report from HubSpot. “
and this one:
“Jan 2009: Back in August 2008, Mark Zuckerberg posted on the official Facebook blog that Facebook had reached 100 million users. Now, only 4 months later, this number has grown 50%: Facebook now has 150 million users.”
