6. What people do on facebook?
“
Most people update their status
less than once per week
The main use of Facebook is the recreation of social connections between people who had, or still have,
a connection in their everyday lives. So, people mainly used Facebook to reconnect with people they
went to school with, worked with, or friends they lost touch with. But, the key question is 'what do people
do once they have created this network?' The results of the research suggest that this can be divided
into four main activities – they can use applications within the site to interact with their network, they can
browse their friends' friends and learn more about them, they can join groups and express their identity
via shared social experiences, or they can use the site to inform others of their news, and keep up to
date with others' actions.

8. FACEBOOK FOR BRANDS
Facebook seems incredibly simple! ‘Likes’, ‘friends’,
‘walls’ and ‘albums’ all seem to be self-explanatory.
However, once you scratch on the surface things
immediately get complicated, even more so if your
company runs a Facebook page. Who are the people who
"like" your page and your content? And how on earth did
you channel that enthusiasm?
As we point out in this infographic, there's a vast
gulf between each of these levels of
engagement, allowing a company to reach
someone in a different way.

17. google+ for brands
Google+ allows brands to build relationships between
business and people.
Like Facebook, you are given the ability to share, promote, and
evaluate your fan page. According to Google’s recent earnings call, as
of January 2012 they have over 90 million Google+ users. This is a
great sign of prominent growth and an encouraging element for
companies to take this social platform seriously. Even though Google+
is smaller than Twitter and Facebook, analysts are expecting the
social network to increase user base dramatically in 2012.

21. PINTEREST FOR BRANDS
Unlike Twitter - where brands and celebrities
dominate the most-followed lists - the top brand
on Pinterest has less than one-tenth the
followers of the top individual user.
Pinterest's user interface is limited for brands:
you can post things, like them, and follow
people ... but that's it.
The few brands that have tried to be innovative
in the medium have had little success in terms
of adding followers.
Individuals who have been successful, however,
keep it simple: Lots of pictures of food and
fashion.
