We will spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty, to which more than a billion of them are currently subjected. — Millennium Declaration

Campaign Idea & Objectives:

End poverty by 2015. This is the historic promise 189 world leaders made at the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000 when they signed onto the Millennium Declaration and agreed to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs are an eight-point road map with measurable targets and clear deadlines for improving the lives of the world’s poorest people. World leaders have agreed to achieve the MDGs by 2015.

The UN Millennium Campaign supports & inspires people from across the world to take action in support of the Millennium Development Goals. It invites people to join millions worldwide as they “Stand Up & Take Action” against poverty.

I have often wondered about the difference between traffic on Facebook vs. Twitter. I became interested through my daily use of both due to the nature of my work.

Recently, and after using Tweepi to filter out inactive Twitter followers and add the active ones, I started noticing that although there is a huge number of users on Twitter, many of them have been missing in action for many months! Facebook, on the other hand, seems more alive and its users seem to be generally more active.

Therefore, as soon as I came across this infograph by The Next Web, I thought it is worth sharing with our readers to help them get a clearer view of how they can better use Twitter and Facebook for advertising their products or services.

After seeing this infograph, did you get a better idea on how to reach your target audience via Facebook and Twitter? Do you think this information is 100% accurate?

Looking forward to your comments and insights down below…

There are always smaller headlines that tend to go unnoticed. They are the headlines that let us know how individualistic and unique some of the interactions on the web can be, and how much social media is shaping our world in ways that we could not have fathomed 20 years ago.

Therefore, the Quirky News of the Web section will be dedicated to those pieces of news that might go unnoticed but still pack quite the punch.
