Aren’t you intrigued to know that Bill Gates apparently “only” has 125 pals on his personal Facebook account, while Martha Stewart has more than 1,500? Does that say he’s pickier than Martha, and if so, who would ever have expected that?
I meant to write about this tidbit earlier after finding out about it from an issue of MarketingSherpa, partly because I am so curious about how people use Facebook, LinkedIn et al. Content director Anne Holland writes:
“OK, color me obsessed with Facebook. LinkedIn is fine, especially for headhunting, but a bit stiff for daily networking…But there’s just something about Facebook. It’s more fun, more friendly, more reach-out-and-touch (or rather ‘poke’) someone and way more useful on a daily basis.”
Perhaps I’ll find out more at the Halton-Peel Communications Association’s panel on blogs/RSS, wikis, podcasts and social tagging, led by my friend and colleague Donna Papacosta!
