Thank you to all that attended our webinar presentations on Social Media. I hope you all found something useful out of the presentation. Some of the key highlights we discussed were:

  • What is Social Media?
  • How Do I begin in the Social Media Realm?

The Social Media world is composed of many different types of websites and networks. Below is a quick re-cap of the main platforms and sites that we discussed during our presentation:

Social Networks (Facebook):
Social Networking websites allow users to build online profiles and share information, both personally and professionally, with others that are part of the network. Facebook is the largest social network on the web with over 350 million users.

Microblogs (Twitter):
Microblogging sites contain short, immediate postings of current thoughts or information. Twitter is the most popular microblogging site and allows users to send friends 140 character messages (similar to a text message sent from a mobile phone). There is an average of 54 million users worldwide who visit Twitter each month.

Photo and Video Sharing (YouTube):
Video is the most popular content on the web. YouTube is the most popular searchable video-sharing site online as well as the 2nd largest search engine today, having more searches than both Yahoo and Bing.

Social Bookmarks (Digg and Delicious):
Social bookmarking is web-based book marking of favorite websites, videos, articles, etc. It allows users to access bookmarks from any computer and to share with others. Delicious is the most popular social bookmarking website today with over 2 million users. Digg currently has over one million users.

The steps put forward on how to begin in social media are:

  1. Develop a plan.
  2. Listen to what others are saying about you and your industry.
  3. Participate in the conversations out there.
  4. Evaluate and work to improve.

If you have any additional questions on social media or if you would like to discuss further how to move forward with a social media plan for you company please feel free to contact Stevens & Tate Marketing or check out the Social Media section on our web site.
