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. You can see the stats at an interactive site wher you can sort them in various rankings. Click Here. If you are interested in developing Social Media as part of your marketing our next Social Media Marketing Framework class starts tomorrow. Email the Chief if you are interested.

Holy Halley’s Comet Batman, it’s the Bat Signal Beacon
Narrator: On a seemingly quiet night in the seemingly quiet shadows…
Robin: Look, Batman! It’s the Bat Signal Beam!
Batman: Yes, Robin, something diabolical is at hand. The Commissioner knows we have our Social Media Marketing Framework in place. If he needs help he will tweet us.
Robin: But, Batman, we went through the class but remember? The Commissioner was called away. Maybe he doesn’t know how to tweet.
Batman: Robin, right you are, how did I overlook that. Whatever the situation, we must proceed cautiously! When we meet up with the commissioner again let’s make sure he signs up for the next series of classes from lept Like A Blog.
Robin: I’ll put the Twitter for Dummies in the bat belt just in case he needs a crash course.
Batman: Good thinking Robin, but the commissioner needs the full training course. We can’t have this kind of thing happen again. To the Batmobile!
Narrator: Will Batman and Robin fall into the trap of a sinister arch enemy? Will Robin donate his copy of Twitter for Dummies to the library? Will the commissioner sign up for this round of classes? Find out at next week’s classes at lept Like A Blog.
