Thank you for this great post. Reaching folks with your message where they hang out is a proven way to get the most social media bang for your buck (or time)! It can be hard to figure out who hangs out where and this article helps to clarify. Does anybody else out there have a demographic nugget that they would like to share with the rest of us?
