Call for Entries for the Top 40 Twitter Profiles for Business, to be Picked by theKbuzz Staff and Announced August 20th
Last month, based upon criteria including responsiveness, interactivity, creativity, design, and fan count, we announced our Top 40 Facebook Fan Pages that we can all learn from. In order to remain credible and ethical, we excluded any Pages theKbuzz has worked on from consideration, but we included as an addendum a list of 20 of our favorite theKbuzz client Pages as well. Now, we're thrilled to ask for entries for our Top 40 Twitter Profiles. We're looking for businesses large and small, and nonprofit organizations, who use Twitter well to connect to audiences. Our criteria include design of Profile background, interactivity of account, number of followers, and innovative and effective uses of Twitter. If you have a suggestion for a Twitter Profile to be nominated, please let us know! We'll publish our Top 40 next month. If you're new to Twitter, you may want to check out our article from months ago 25 Innovative Uses of Twitter.

Facebook Hits 250 Million Users; Offers Fan Box Widget
Facebook hit another milestone last week when they topped 250 million users. Based upon our estimate, Facebook will easily top 300 million users by the end of 2009. Put in other words, by the end of the year, 1 out of every 5 adults who uses the internet IN THE WORLD will be a Facebook user. We also predict 1 out of 3 Americans will be a Facebook user by the end of the year. For the official Facebook blog entry on the milestone, click here, and for a great analysis from Inside Facebook, click here.
In Facebook news you can use their 1st widget - a Fan Box which pulls activity from your Fan Page stream and your fans to your website or blog. Best of all, the widget includes a "Become a Fan" button so that visitors can become a fan of your Page - without ever leaving your website! We @thekbuzz believe this will be an extremely popular tool. For the official Facebook blog announcement, click here, and for a showcase of Facebook Fan Boxes of a few of our clients, click here.
