Central Mass Web Design has been actively using, reporting, and promoting the use of Social Media to promote your business. We looked into the effect Social Media sites have on our clients and the internet long before the reports that Social Media sites were on the fast track. We encouraged all of our SEO clients to be blogging, and using Social Media sites to drive traffic to their website.
Now on the wake of all this… a new report made available a few days ago from Nielsen reports that Social Media and blogging are the fastest growing searches on the internet today. Growing at over 2x the rate of others. With an average age of not 16, 17 or 18 year old users… but users in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s.
I can take this all in stride. I mean, well, we predicted it over a year ago.
Imagine my shock when I received a news notice, that stated The Boston Massachusetts Police planned on using TWITTER. Now for those of you that dont know what TWITTER is, it is a web based Social Networking tool where people post updates and tips on what they are doing. To follow Central Mass Web Design on TWITTER visit, CentralMassWeb.
So how will Boston Police use TWITTER next week. Imagine a city gridlocked with traffic. Thousands of people converging on Boston to witness the annual St. Patricks Day Parade. The Boston Police pulled in every direction directing traffic, moving people along, and keeping the peace. Now imagine updates directly to your computer or smart phone, on TWITTER. Police will be reporting up to the minute reports on traffic and crowd control issues, to give everyone a heads up coming into the area, so they may be able to replan their routes. This also allows TWITTER followers to post their own updates that the police may not be aware of yet.
Simply brilliant! Kudos to you Boston Police for being on the cutting edge, and making things easier for all of us!
