Social media isn’t about numbers…
It’s about people.

From Social Media Revolution:
If Facebook were a country, it would be the world’s third largest
A new member joins LinkedIn every second
Generation Y and Z consider email passe
90% of consumers trust peer recommendation

If everyone is doing social media, is it still relevant? Back in the late 90's, having a website put you ahead of the pack. In the early 2000's, not really ahead of the pack, anymore. Now, everyone *does* social...Is it a differentiator?
