Facebook Reaches Half-a-Billion Users…
comments
For those of you who have attended one of our ‘Facebook 101′ webinars in the past couple months, you’ve heard us talk about how Facebook is rapidly approaching 500 million users. Well, we’re going to venture out and say that this day is officially upon us. The word out here in San Francisco is that they’ve hit the 500M mark, and are planning to announce the milestone this week.
What does this mean? It means that there are no longer any excuses about how this Facebook-thing is “just some fad” and that it’s only “a bunch of kids” who are using it. Think about it this way – if Facebook were a country, it would have a larger population than the United States. An even more staggering number is this:
People in the world with Internet access: 1,800,000,000
People in the world now on Facebook: 500,000,000
For the mathletes out there like ourselves, that’s over 25% – better than 1 in 4 – of the world’s Internet users are using Facebook. This is no longer some flash-in-the-pan Internet phenomenon. It’s a genuine phenomenon. So much, that Hollywood’s already made a salacious movie about it starring none other than Justin Timberlake (yes, that Justin Timberlake).
JT-or-not, Facebook is legitimate – half a billion people have cast their vote for it. And, we’re fairly certain at least 1 of those is one of your patients. Get them to start giving you those same word-of-mouth referrals that you’ve built your practice on…except have them do it through Facebook so that it reaches hundreds of their own friends & family.
Want to learn even more about Facebook, how it works, and how to make it work for your practice? Join us for an educational webinar and Q&A session to learn about Facebook in more detail.
No Ads. No Sales Pitch. Only Education.
