How's this for an icebreaker question: Sooo.... what social network convinced you to come out here tonight? That was the question of the night at the AZIMA (Arizona Interactive Marketing Association) event in Tempe. For me, it was Facebook. For the man sitting next to me, LinkedIn. The topic of the evening was how to effectively engage others in social networking and true to the point the speaker (Kristen from Facebook) was, well, engaging. Some interesting tidbits... 73% of all internet users are on social networks. And watch out kids, 47% of all moms are on Facebook (and they spend an average of 8 hours a week on the site!). The presentation delved into many of the tools and programs Facebook offers to businesses and brands to raise awareness including ads and fan pages. It also allowed for Q&A., but there were many who were already experts in the house because while the event was going on, some of the lucky ones who actually had cell phone service went mobile, chatting away on Twitter.
