Big Ben on Twitter
Big Ben is the great bell situated in London since 1859. Needs no further introduction. I was amused to see a need for a landmark to have a Twitter account. Does it need one? Secondly, I was even more amused to know they have 72k followers (as I publish this).

Lessons I Learnt from “The Social Network” Movie
The film revolved around intellectual property, ethics, lawsuits and relationships. It sure sounds like a difficult film to produce but I’m glad to say I enjoyed myself throughout and may even plan to watch it again, just so I might learn something I hadn’t observed the first time round.
The founders of Facebook probably do not agree fully to this film. We should understand for dramatic effect, parts of the movie would have been exaggerated and probably twisted. This film was an adaption from ‘The Accidental Billionaires’ by Ben Mezrich which I have not laid my hands on – but having read ‘The Facebook Effect’ by David Kirkpatrick, it feels like I could already predict the plot.

Followers on Twitter are More Valuable than Facebook Fans
The way majority of consumers utilise Facebook and Twitter are very different. Facebook is associated to connection, self-expression, and entertainment – whereas Twitter for interaction, influence, and brevity.
Not to say that one platform is inferior to the other; each have their strengths and weaknesses and are equally important in planning a digital marketing campaign.
Judging from the title of this post – imagine if one million Facebook fans are worth $3.6m in media value, how much would one million Twitter followers be worth?
