60% of Social Media Messages are Links to Published Content [Data] It's an inbound marketing no-brainer: the best way to get your prospects to find and learn about your company, its products, and its services is by publishing content. And the latest data shared by eMarketer only confirms it... In their April 2011 report, " Content is the Fuel of the Social Web," AOL and Nielsen Online gathered data from over 10,000 social media messages to analyze how people share content online. The results? We think their most noteworthy finding is that, of all shares, 60% were of links to published content . The study also revealed some data about the methods by which people are sharing content online, and more granularly, with whom. When it comes to online sharing, it's not enough for businesses to simply have a website; long gone are the days when a "web presence" just means having a website for your business to call home. Smart inbound marketers understand the need to create and publish content in order to get found online. Photo Credit: Carlos Maya

Not only do charts, graphs and maps show up on standardized tests of all kinds, but whiteboard technology has made the graphic depiction of information that much more useful and ubiquitous in classrooms.
