This convinces social media skeptics

Need help convincing your boss that social media is a major phenomenon deserving budgets, approval and buy-in? Show him or her this live data counter developed by Gary Hayes that tracks  things like number of new blogs posts, members added to Facebook, videos watched on YouTube, downloaded iPhone apps — EVERY SECOND.

Here’s a visual of just five minutes of data. The live feed is much more compelling.

I recommended that a client use it to open her presentation to  the executive members of one of the biggest companies in the world. It got a big “wow” and opened minds to the need to  do business differently.

    Glad you liked this counter; it really is a ‘wow.” Thanks for stopping by and kind words. Agree about time…not enough.
