The old cliché “Content is King” has never been more true in the digital marketing world. New, fresh, sharable website content not only builds your brand and generates potential leads, but it also keeps your consumers engaged and connected to your brand.

The user tallies have been coming fast and furiously lately, so I thought it was a good time for my semi-regular, running tally of how many people are using some of the top social networks & tools.
New to this addition is the social bookmarking phenom Pinterest.
Here you go…
Macy’s has come up with an interesting way to get users to like their page and share their Facebook app while mixing in cause marketing. The retailer is running a promotion where users can send a Mother’s Day card to all of the moms in their lives and Macy’s will make a $3 donation to a charity for each card.
Trident Gum recently launched a tax-time themed Facebook campaign that is aimed at taking your mind off financial issues.
