intelligence on digital
communities
488 million users regularly use Facebook mobile. (source: All Facebook)
69 percent of follows on Twitter are suggested by friends. (source: Web Analytics World)
30 percent of users who make a public post [on Google+] never make a second one. (source: Jeff Bullas)

It’s not all about big numbers
You are a heritage project, not Coca Cola
If you build it, will they come?
