Social Media Study
• The study examined the Fortune 100’s current use of key social media tools
including Twitter, Facebook, Fanpages and Blogs. The analysis looked to tally
what percentage of the Fortune 100 is now using each of these channels to
engage directly with stakeholders. The Data was collected between July 2nd
and July 17th and is based on content that is accessible within a reasonable
effort, i.e. by Facebook or Google search for the company name or looking for a
blog on a corporate site.
• Twitter - The study tallied official Twitter accounts for Fortune 100 companies.
This tally does not include independent subsidiary brands that do not share a
name with the parent company.
• Facebook - The study identified whether there was an established Facebook
fan page for each company within the Fortune 100. The study examined
corporate pages, but not individual brand fan pages.
• Blogs - The study tallied whether each Fortune 100 company had a branded
corporate blog easily accessible from its corporate homepage.

Some Key Findings - Fortune 100 Social Media Study
• Sixty-nine percent of companies that have at least one active Twitter account
post frequently
(at least four times a week).
• Currently the Fortune 100 are using Twitter primarily
– To distribute news and updates about their company
– As an extension of their customer service
– To announce marketing promotions
– As part of employee recruitment/human resources efforts
• The technology industry is by far the most active sector on Twitter with companies
including Dell, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, and HP each having a number of
accounts.
• In addition to the corporate accounts, there are a number of locally focused
Twitter accounts that were created by local units or offices of the Fortune 100.
For example, Best Buy’s Arkansas stores have an account with 536 followers.
Such accounts were not examined in this study, but are a growing presence on
Twitter and robust additions to a corporate account. The local presence allows
for more specific direct marketing.

Blog Analysis
• Fortune 100 blog content typically includes current projects, external
initiatives, and corporation’s community involvement/corporate social
responsibility initiatives.
• Many of the corporate blogs are written by executives in order to
personally communicate company initiatives and convey sense of
accessibility to management
• Like its participation in Twitter, the technology and telecommunications
industries also have high involvement in blogs, with companies
including Dell, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, and HP maintaining a
number of blogs specific to products or services, as well as employee
blogs from all divisions and levels of the corporation. They often use
blog rolls to aggregate all the blog content to one source.
Key Findings – Fortune 100 Blogs
• Many companies have avoided maintaining a blog and have instead
gone straight to Twitter
• All companies that have at least one blog remain active and post
consistently (regular time intervals of weekly or monthly.)
• Industries least active in the blogosphere are the Healthcare and Food
industries. Food Companies tend to be more active at brand level.
Media companies tend not to have a corporate blog, but their
subsidiaries maintain many blogs.
• The companies that do not have blogs do provide other ways to relay
news and information in more traditional ways, most commonly a news
roll or press release media section.
• Many companies often link to or incorporate external individual blogs
from stakeholders encouraging them to share their own experiences
with the company’s products.
