A Social Media Proof

On Day 4 of the NRRC campaign we noted that the blog posting on the site had about 25 views. The same facebook post (automatic through Squarespace) had 350 views. This is the clearest proof of the efficacy of Social Media that I've ever seen. In this case there is a 12 to 1 advantage in reach for the same content, not to mention the viral capabilities.
