For online marketers you only interest would be where your target market is. The site you would target is still the most active social network site which basically the two hottest at the moment which is Facebook and Twitter. Facebook has around 9.3M users as of last count.

I don't have any idea of the total number of Twitter users but if you look at the following of local showbiz stars such as Bianca Gonzales, Anne Curtis, and Maxene Magalona they have roughly about 80K, 60K and 50K followers respectively. I see a lot of their fangroups now making Twitter account for themselves and asking to be followed. Given this, I feel Twitter is growing rapidly hitting a broader scale of the market.

With the introduction of online data plans. Usage of these sites would most likely continue even if they are not connected via laptops or computers. They will almost literally be connected 24hours. Establishing a presence in these social networking sites strengthens a brands presence online. It gives brand additional touch points aside from the website (if any).
