Eine ansprechende Präsenz in den verschiedenen sozialen Netzen ist heute unumgänglich. Leider sieht man allerdings noch viel zu oft grobe Design-Schnitzer aufgrund unzureichend aufbereiteter Grafiken für Header-Banner etc. Zugegeben, die Anbieter machen es einem auch nicht leicht: Häufig wechselnde Layouts und schlechte oder gar keine Dokumentationen stehen an der Tagesordnung.
LunaMetrics hat sich dem Thema angenommen und eine umfassende Zusammenstellung veröffentlicht, aller aktuellen Grafiken in den wichtigsten Netzwerken: facebook, twitter, Google+ sowie Pinterest.
Wer die Angaben lieber in Textform haben möchte, wird auch nicht enttäuscht:
