Mobile Market Why our projects need to be here
• Mobile phone users who accessed social media or apps:
–In 1983, 0%–In 2009, 24% –In 2012, 56%–By 2015, 79%
Social and mobile is not a fad. It is now. It will only grow. Projects can tap into this source, but must be strategic, purposeful and willing to engage.

All major federal agencies on Twitter and YouTube“majority use the site to broadcast rather than to engage audiences in conversation,
except NASA and military branches.”
AMTRAK paid to get followers on Twitter, going from 8,000 to 22,000 in 2 months.
“We wanted to get the word out there to our customers and potential customers about how they could get the latest rail news and other company information.”
