Twitter: 2 Billion Tweets per Month and Counting

Zack — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 21:16:23 +0000

A new report has come out that states, that there are around 2 Billion tweets per month on Twitter. That is Billion… with a “B.” This is just more proof that Social Networking and Social Media Marketing are HUGE, and you and your business and missing out by not grabbing a piece of this. Twitter is getting bigger every single day, with more users joining and sharing their information for you to read. It only makes sense for you to be a part of it, so your company does not get left behind.

Now I know what you are thinking, “2Billion tweets a month is a lot, but there is no way that number will continue to rise, it has to be on its way down…” Well what if I told you that Twitter reached its 1 billionth tweet back in the fall of 2008. Nearly 1 year later, it reached 5 billion tweets. In March of 2010, Twitter hit the 10 billion tweet mark, and now, less than 3 months later, they are over the 15 billion tweet mark. The graph would look something like this:

Aside from showing the insane growth of Twitter, these numbers tell us something else: Everyone and their mother is now on Twitter. That means there are that many more people out there to sell your products or services too. It is a great way to keep in touch, syndicate out your Blog Posts, or Network. Twitter is the best way to stay up to date on current issues build your business to a level you are happy with.

Turbo Social Media Facebook Window Decal

Our President Matt With Our Decal

Just yesterday, I retweeted out an article by Mashable, talking about the new Facebook Window Decals. Much to our surprise, today, we were one of the lucky Business on Facebook that also received their window decal. Facebook has sent these out to a select base of companies in hopes of them being the spokespeople for Facebook’s leap into the local business marketing niche.

Facebook is obviously a powerful medium for business’ to showcase their company, and help drive more customers to their site, banking on the idea that “businesses that promote their Page off-Facebook tend to see a 20% or greater increase in connections.”

This step into amping up their Business Searches within Facebook seems to be a smart maneuver on their part, as they now have Foursquare and Google’s “Favorite Places” decals used on their maps.

Facebook’s mission is to help people share and make the world more open and connected. And by no bring the offline place of business and connecting it to its online counterpart, they are helping all business’ succeed in a powerful way.

Grow Your Business Through LinkedIn Groups

Facebook? Check! Twitter? Check! LinkedIn?…. LinkedIn?

As we have discussed before, Social Networking is an extremely important and integral part of Social Media Marketing. However, in order to get the most out of it, you want to be sure you are using every part of these Social Networking sites to their fullest. If you have been doing everything we tell you to do (as you should be… let’s face it, I am amazing…), then your business is probably flourishing. However, we have not yet reached the pinnacle, as there is always more we can do.

One of the best ways to really grow your business, is the use and joining of different groups on LinkedIn. First of all, the groups are indexed by Google, meaning if you create a group, or join a group, the title of the group can be found in Google Search results. Secondly, the groups are a great place to interact and meet new and exciting individuals. There are discussions, and emails and a lot of networking that happens in these groups, and that is a great way to grow your network, which we all know is a great way to in turn, grow your business.

Just like all Social Networking sites, the best way to get results is to take full advantage of all options they offer. If you have a business, then a Facebook Fan page is important to you. If you have a Twitter account, a Twitter Management tool such as Hootsuite is important. And if you have a LinkedIn account, then joining groups is the way to go!
