Q&A Friday: Today's Topic - Twitter & Facebook

One of my dear friends asked me some great questions today about Facebook and Twitter. I’m posting her question and my response below. Happy Friday!

Question:
How common is it for seniors to be twittering and facebooking? Is it rampant?
Should businesses be investing serious ad dollars towards social media just yet?

Response/Recommendations:
Twitter stats as of April, 2010 (as released by Twitter, thank you http://www.BusinessInsider.com for this info)

  • 106 million users. It is adding 300,000 per day
  • Draws 180 million unique visitors.
  • 75% of twitter traffic is outside of Twitter.com (meaning people are accessing it via apps).
  • There are 55 million tweets/day
  • Twitter’s search engine gets 600 million queries/day

For the reasons above and because Twitter is FREE, I do recommend a business get started on Twitter. Please see previous posts about this topic.

Have a great weekend, all!
