Set it and Forget it, social media works
I found many of the statistics in this article to be very intriguing. For starters, I did not realize that Twitter's follower base has now grown to over half that of Facebook's. Furthermore, I had no idea that users spend close to the same amount of time on each site, because to me, Twitter is more of a place to simply post things, while Facebook is more of a place to browse. Next, I was not surprised to hear that about 80% of Pinterest users are women, however, I was surprised when it stated that about half of the total number of users have children! Last but not least, I personally have not heard much chatter about Google+, so it was surprising to find out that its follower count increases by about 33% each year! All in all, it was a very interesting article to read through!
