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.
Generating your content is tough, but once you come up with the killer blog post or case study, how do you let people know about it?
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.

This move puts Google+’s age restrictions more in line with many of the other major social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Changing the minimum age may lead to a number of digital marketing implications, including:
Google just announced that they have created a few variations of the Google+ page badge.
If you are new to the Google+ lingo, badges are a widget-like box that are placed on non-Google+ sites and enable visitors to add the company to their circles without leaving the page.
