More and more of us are turning to the Internet to get our news and information. With Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter, and even blogs like LaSalle Insider and Change for Peru, we can also have conversations online. And now local businesses are finding their way onto the Web. Which makes sense – after all, that’s where their existing and future customers are. A well-known and established LaSalle business, 
Machelle’s Backstreet, has set up a Facebook page and more recently started up a Twitter account.
Although people might think of Facebook and Twitter as a place where kids just hang out and talk, statistics tell a different story. A recent report by istrategylabs shows a 276.4% growth in the use of Facebook by those aged 35 to 54 years old. Those 55 and older showed a growth in use of 194.3%. And for Twitter, use studies show that the people signing up and using it the most are in the 25-to-54-year-old age bracket. So the bottom line is that everyone seems to be grabbing a keyboard, logging on, and joining in the conversation.
So kudos to you Machelle’s Backstreet for joining all of us online and helping to promote not only your business, but the city of LaSalle. And don’t forget everyone:
