You may be sitting on the fence with regard to the use of social media in your business. A handful of numbers to tickle your hunger for social networking in your company:

Over a third of a million men and women use Facebook throughout the world and more than 50 % of these sign in just about every day. 55 million status updates are posted just about every day and more than 2.5 billion pictures are uploaded each month.

There is more....

Twitter announced 30 million clients in July 2009. Of these, nearly 3/4 registered in early 2009. 30% of members produce the majority of the activity. Do you realize how many blog posts are created just about every day? What about news media, press releases, image and video sharing submissions? Think billions.

Every single DAY!!!!

OK. You either get this or you do not. Several people don't. That is OK - these people are most likely to spend their time on social media websites chatting to friends and planning meetups. However, evidence illustrates that 80% of these types of people make purchasing decisions utilizing internet media channels.

That is, purchasing decisions

Now, if you're a company or an enterprise that sells something for an income then you may like to be before these customers. You may like to be a part of their selection. If you don't, then your rivals probably will. Many companies accept this and are committing hard cash into becoming an element of the social media conversation.
