Vitrue’s list of Top 100 Most social brands is pretty interesting. Read it here
2009 certainly marked the tipping point for social media with Facebook crossing 350 million month active users worldwide (100 million US users) according to “Inside Facebook”, December 2009.
Adoption of social media by marketers has also followed suit, as eMarketer cites the percentage of the Fortune 500 not using social media has dropped dramatically – from 43% now to only 9%.
Sports brands among Top 100 Most Social brands: NBA #5, NFL #12, ESPN #23, MLB #29, NASCAR #43, NHL #46.
Forrester is also stating that social media marketing is projected to grow at an annual rate of 34%, faster than any other form of online marketing (US Interactive Marketing Spend 2009 to 2014 Report issued Summer 2009).
i don't think social media is needed for promote company, i think better using blog.
and 2 country US provide 100million and indonesia provide 75million.
that's mean 2country provide half of facebook user
It is good to use both blog and social media to promote company. There is not ONE single best strategy to promote.

Well, as far as i can see that, social media marketing is a new brand tool to promote yourself in the internet. though you should promote only quality products, otherwise you’ll get nothing but a huge wave of negative reaction and this issue can easily spoil your business.
I am all for social media marketing and I think it is going to be more important in coming years. I also agree with ACCA Provider that good products should be marketed otherwise people will loose faith in such marketing.
