Channel-Specific Social Networking Site (SNS) Stats
66% of younger SNS users (12-29 years old) use MySpace.
36% of older SNS users (age 30 and up) use MySpace.
71% of younger SNS users (12-29 years old) use Facebook.
75% of older SNS users (age 30 and up) use Facebook.
8% of teen SNS users (17-17 years old) use Twitter.
33% of young adult SNS users (18-29 years old) use Twitter or another status updating
service.
19% of adult SNS users (age 30 and up) use Twitter or another status updating service.
Even though Twitter currently has a much lower percentage of
SNS users, its site traffic is climbing at too high a rate to ignore.
Our Social Media Team will reassess the continued use of
MySpace after the 2010-11 academic year ends.

 Your content contributors don’t already use
it personally.
 Someone has to approve every post before it
can go live.
 You don’t want to actually engage & seek
contributions from your community.
Strategy isn’t the goal. It’s
the path you plan to take to
get there. So, let’s put some
goals out, and then talk
through how to build a
strategy to reach them.
