Benefits to farmers
Share information and ideas with and learn
from other farmers and ranchers and
others associated with agriculture.
Meet connect, interact and share with more
and different people--people you'd
probably never connect with otherwise.
Provide quick, responsive networks and
communities for farm use and important
emerging issues.
Benefits to farmers
Communicate with niche farmers (for
example Angus Breeders).
Build a great network for agriculture's
future.
Market farm and ranch products.
Connect and interact with consumers,
creating conversations and relationships
with them.
Benefits to farmers
Allow agriculture to share positive
information.
Educate people who are not associated
with agriculture.
Serve as important voice for agriculture
where there wasn't always one before.
Create a way to participate in agriculture
conferences without being there.
Widen the scope of local farmers.

  • 42. Benefits to farmers Share information and ideas with and learn from other farmers and ranchers and others associated with agriculture. Meet connect, interact and share with more and different people--people you'd probably never connect with otherwise. Provide quick, responsive networks and communities for farm use and important emerging issues.
  • 43. Benefits to farmers Communicate with niche farmers (for example Angus Breeders). Build a great network for agriculture's future. Market farm and ranch products. Connect and interact with consumers, creating conversations and relationships with them.
  • 44. Benefits to farmers Allow agriculture to share positive information. Educate people who are not associated with agriculture. Serve as important voice for agriculture where there wasn't always one before. Create a way to participate in agriculture conferences without being there. Widen the scope of local farmers.

  11. emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1007271In 2010, eMarketer expects 15.5% of all US adult Web users to use the microblogging service via any platform. In April, eMarketer estimated that there would be just 12.1 million US adult Twitter users this year. The upward revision is due to growth in Q2 2009 even stronger than the huge gains seen by Twitter in Q1. More than one-half of all Twitter users (53%) are women, and the majority are young. Among users who disclose their age, 66% are under 25, and another 15% are ages 25 to 29. Most Twitter users are quiet: 85.37% tweet less than once per day. Only about 1.1% of users update their timeline an average of more than 10 times daily. This means a small group of users dominate the Twitter timeline—75% of all Twitter activity comes from just 5% of users. Not surprisingly, the more followers a user has, the more that person tweets. Sysomos reported that the average number of daily updates rises from three to six among users with more than 1,000 followers. But relatively few users are that popular. In fact, almost 94% of Twitter users have fewer than 100 followers. Just 0.68% reach the thousand-follower mark. The situation is very similar in the other direction. The vast majority of users (92.4%) follow fewer than 100 other microbloggers. Less than 1% subscribe to the feeds of at least 1,000 others. Among users who identified themselves as marketers, the numbers were significantly higher: 15% follow more than 2,000 people. http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1007250
