Very interesting, I know that Facebook was powerful for advertising a very targeted message. I use twitter and facebook but have problems with getting people to join a facebook group on a business subject, where as its easy to find business contacts on twitter.
Just my view, I am interested in others views.

Gary,
I suggest looking up industry keyword on Search.Twitter.com You will likely find good people to follow from looking at the search results.
The awareness factor of Twitter compared with its usage tells me the best is yet to come. I stopped using Twitter early on b\c so few people used it. Now it is more rewarding to use Twitter for networking and coordinating. I make a point to keep those I follow to beneficial contacts. You get what you put into it really.
Thanks Kipp I didnt know about the search engine for twitter I will get on this now.
I agree autoconversion you only need to follow those that are beneficial but when you start out you have to follow more to generate awareness, is it then wrong to unfollow so that you look like you are followed more than follow?

I think it demonstrates nicely that there can be powerful synergy between the two, for example reminding and directing the people you find on Twitter to value-adding notes and discussion on your FB Group page.

Thank you for sharing the valuable information.
The combination of these two social medias will be a powerful network platform.
Are their any other social networking apps that we should be on the look out for that come close to twitter or FB?
@Dan,
LinkedIn can't be ignore with 65 million users it is a major player in the social networking space.
Thanks for distilling this down, Kipp. These are definitely 5 of the most critical points for marketers, and I'm glad you pointed out the SMS data as well, since I believe the key to Twitter's future will be to continue to emphasize the parallels between testing and Tweeting.
Thanks again for covering our report, Kipp!
I use Tweetdeck to post, at the same time, to Twitter, LinkIn, and Facebook. When I balance all three, it saves me time and spreads my brand awareness with consistent messaging. Social-media platforms, in one sense, are not competitors. Instead, they can co-brand and compliment each other. Each can be used effectively in your social-media strategy.
As usual, hubspot is giving me valuable and useful information that I am compelled to pass on to others.
Thank you!
Hi Kipp,
Thanks for the nice charts and cool takeaways. Could you help point me to where I could get similar charts from a non-US context, e.g. in Asia?
Nelson,
We don't have any data on Asia, but I will ask around and if I find some good charts, I will send them your way.
