Why Social Media is Important to Your Business

According to a Pew Research Center study, 74% of all adult Internet users are using social media as of January 2014. The most popular on-line social media site, at 71% is Facebook, followed by LinkedIn at 22%, Pinterest at 21%, Twitter at 19% and Instagram at 17%.

Meanwhile, those watching or downloading on-line videos continues to rise to include 78% of all on-line adults.

Print newsrooms are shrinking while on-line news content providers are growing. Pew Research studies show that users of social media outlets such as Facebook are not primarily seeking news, yet about a third discuss news through social media.
