Social Media now No.1 Pastime on the Internet
That’s right, its no longer pornography, or Google search traffic that tops the charts when it comes to time spent online, social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter 
have now overtaken these things and has become the number 1 hit online.
Search engines such as Google and yahoo made up 11.33% of internet visits last month (may 2010) whereas social networks accounted for 11.88% – so although their lead isn’t too great – winning is winning! 
The growth of social media (IMO) can be put down to one thing – smart phones! Since Facebook and twitter have been made available through iPhones, Blackberrys and the rest of the Smartphone family, anyone who is anyone can get involved in social media.
When we speak to some of our customers about social media, they reply with talk of it being something “their kids use” and that they don’t think its their cup of tea. Well, that’s where you are wrong – even if you are not a fan of tea, you should really sample a cup of the social media blend, its free, direct, and very easy to use.
Are you making the best use of Social Networks? Has your business got a presence on Social Networks?
We can help with social media training and optimisation – just give dijitul media a call on 01623 650 333 and we’ll tell you how Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and the other Social Networks can help you get more exposure.
YouTube for business
You may think that YouTube is the place where everyone uploads videos of their mate’s falling over or the site where you can see the funniest pets in the world, well, for some that’s just how it is. Looking at YouTube from another angle is not something that many people do until it hits them in the face.
Imagine this, you make a funny 30 second clip, something so funny that people cannot help themselves but to share with friends and spread around the web showing all the other web users how cool this video is, some even like the joys of seeing other people laugh knowing that they found the video first. As crazy as that might sound there is actually some real logic behind it.
Can you remember the “Charlie bit me” video on YouTube? For those who don’t here it is.
Finished watching? Wondering what this has to do with your business?
Well, there is not really an answer as the relevance this video has to your business is none. However, what the video does have is an audience and a pretty huge one at that. From 22 May 2007 that video alone has had over 150 million views, yes 150 MILLION. In addition to this, the parents who shot the video now have their own YouTube channel, have been on Richard and Judy, made national news and will likely reap more benefits from this.
Now imagine using the same concept to promote your business, can you see how it could work?
If not, give us a call and lets get explain things in a bit more detail.
