Social Media and Ag
The above is a bold statement from the four minute YouTube video, Social Media Revolution 2.
In the ag industry, we've become painfully aware that we need to be the ones to tell our story, not only the mainstream media. Social Media Revolution 2 confirms the best resource to do this is through social media. Our audience is out there, as you will see in the below stats, we just need to keep the conversation going.
Below are a few quick stats from the video ...
- If Facebook were a country it would be the world's 3rd largest
- YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world
- There are over 200,000,000 blogs
- 60 million status updates happen on Facebook daily
If you have a computer and an Internet connection (which, if you are reading this you do!) social media is an affordable, convenient and instant tool to share our stories and promote our lifestyle with fellow farmers, as well as consumers.
It's more important than ever that we keep the momentum and remain at the forefront of the social media revolution. AgChat Foundation, a group that empowers farmers and ranchers to connect communities through social media platforms, is there to help. They will host Agvocacy 2.0 training, August 30-31, 2010.
