A few days ago the first study on the use of Twitter users in Latin America was published. This study was conducted over a three week period using online questionnaires. The study was based on a sample of 1,756 cases.

This recent study of the digital marketing company ComScore revealed that the use of Twitter has grown extensively worldwide and Latin America stands out as the fastest growing region in the world.

Of the 93 million Twitter users in the world, 15 million are from Latin America.

Let’s explore this data a little more in depth.

I am pleased to invite you to a a webinar sponsored by Zuberance that I am helping organize — the panel is made of Social Media practitioners from Ogilvy, Samsung and Zuberance. Kety Esquivel from Ogilvy, Esteban Contreras from Samsung and Rob Fuggetta from Zuberance. They are outstanding marketers and they have an amazing track record building communities and connecting to relevant audiences through cutting edge channels such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

You’ve launched a brand new product and the competition heats up. The business plan is laid out but as things go nowadays, the business plan looks nothing like it did when you started and it has evolved in a few key aspects only in the past few weeks. Things are moving at high speed.

Leading companies are harnessing the power of social media and Brand Advocates now to super-charge their sales.

Zuberance is hosting a free webinar where Rob Fuggetta (Zuberance founder and CEO) and David Spark (speaker, author and Social Media Blogger) will explain how three big companies are using Zuberance technology to turn social media into sales.

Computers, you can scale them. That’s hardware which is a lot more time consuming to scale that software. Software, you can scale, duplicate, reuse and resell a million times over by the simple weight of your finger in your crisp Mac keyboard. Humans, that is different story. We don’t scale.

From the time you opened your account on facebook to the latest tweet you sent out. All of that information, public and easily accessible by anyone in the world. Internet moguls made movies about living in public and proclaimed the end of privacy as we know it. And they claimed that all of this is good, but they didn’t tell you one thing. It’s not their privacy they are talking about – it’s yours. They are talking about your privacy and public exposure of thoughts and actions that can be mined in aggregate.

Not really. At least not yet. As Guy Kawasaki puts it, “Social-media strategy” is over-rated if not a downright oxymoron. That was his opening line in his answer to the question posed about social media and whether social media strategy comes before tools. Many of the respondents (all great great bloggers and thinkers by the [...]
