7. Non- fiction article
Facebookdominates other social networking options for Americans
Measured by the number of people having profiles on a social media site,
Facebook has the highest penetration among the top social media entities.
Facebook has more US profiles than the next three largest sites combined.
Interestingly, MySpace, the once dominant social network, is ahead of
Google+, Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr. From a marketing perspective,
note that this data only represents profiles. It doesn’t take into account
others who may view the content via sharing. Further, this data is measured
across a broad user base, Americans over the age of 12. This understates the
impact of social media platforms whose audience form a focused segment
like Tumblr or Pinterest. (As a point of reference, here’s other social media
data.)
Actionable Marketing Tip: Focus your social media efforts on those platforms
where your target audience spends their time. For example, if you’re
targeting teens and/or twenty-somethings, then include Tumblr in your mix.
