Converse-converse Reviewing the state of business uses in Social Media our staff came across an interesting ranking. TechCrunch Mashable published a list of retail brands and their respective followings in Social Media. The top of the list? Converse with 39,537,456 Facebook followers beating out Wal-Mart by 5 million or so. Not only is Converse on top but Nike, Adidas, etc are in the top ten. Who knew that shoes are so social? Of course, a quick peruse of Pinterest and you can see shoes are an eye appealing commodity. In overall rankings of all pages Coke takes the top spot with nearly twice that of Converse with 79,489,053 Facebook followers after Facebook itself.
