Linkedin offers pretty fancy looking stats for its groups, showing:
Watch out Facebook Insights, the stats for Facebook Pages!
Here’s an example for one of my groups on Marketing 2.0.

I’m looking forward to welcoming local business owners and managers for two one-day training sessions on social media marketing December 8th and 15th, in Aix en Provence, and then tuesdays and Thursdays to be determined every month from then on.
The cost is 600 euros ( plus 19,6% sales tax) per day and its approved as a training program deductible from your annual training budget as a company in France. It will be held in French, although sessions in English can definitely be put together for a group of 5 minimum if needed.
We’ll look at:

FlowTown compiled data from various sources like Comscore to put together this nice infographic on who Google Plus Members are, 5 months after its launch, as well how the network is used.

As I prepare training material for professionals seeking to better understand what the Web and, furthermore, the Web 2.0 means for their business, I seek out material to present the larger picture of the Internet today.
Comscore is an invaluable source of English speaking data, whereas Ipsos is useful for a French approach.
These charts from a recent ComScore study show us how Asia-Pacific now accounts for the lion’s share (41%) of the Internet population in the world. In 1996, the US accounted for 64% of Internet population and now it represents 13% of the Internet using population. Doesn’t it put things in perspective?
Just a few months after launching Facebook rival Google+, Google now offers companies and non-profits the ability to have their own “pages” on the social network. This is part of a larger strategy by Google to make all our lives Googlizable…
The philosophy behind Google brand pages is slightly different from Facebook’s- duh- as you’d expect from a company with such a different world view as Google.
Here’s a post from November 8 from G+, as they like to call themselves, on how the new Pages work:
1. You Can +1 a Page to Show Support or Add Them to Your Circles
We know you love some brands and businesses. Others you may want to show a quick note of support, but not see all their updates. So just drop a little +1 and keep going, or add a page to any circle you want. You’re in control.
2. No Google+ Page Can Follow You Until You Follow Them
We want Google+ to be a place you love to share. Pages cannot circle you until you follow them first. Of course, if you are in their circles, they can share great deals, exclusive coupons, product tips and hangouts, but the relationship is yours to start.
3. In Fact, Google+ Pages Can’t Even Mention You Unless You’re Connected
That’s right. The +Google+ page can’t even say your name unless you’re following. No +mention spam.
4. Google+ Pages Automatically Unfollow You If You Unfollow Them
If you remove a Google+ Page from your circles, you are automatically removed from their circles. You always are in charge.
5. You Can Find Google+ Pages In Google Search
With a new feature we call Direct Connect, just type + followed by the brand name in Google Search, and you can see pages automatically display. Type +Pepsi to see Pepsi, and +Dell for Dell. It’s that easy.
We’re very excited about the great work we’ve seen with Google+ Pages so far. So many amazing companies are here, and you can see from all the work we’ve done that we want your experience on Google+ to remain a fantastic one.
