Editor's Notes
According to Erik Qualman at SearchEngineWatch, his observations of social media use in countries where Facebook is NOT currently the predominant platform, it is quickly moving up in the ranks and becoming more favored. http://searchenginewatch.com/3634522
If social media users are frequently talking about your brand or news relevant to your brand in another language, invest resources or enlist the help of an employee who also speaks that language. Following these conversations, regardless of their language, and engaging non-english speakers can give your brand instant credibility with a vast international audience.
