GE puts a twist on a Facebook trend

Corporate Social Media Case Study: GE

Putting a twist on the growing Facebook phenomenon, “25 Random Things About Me,” GE published their own version of a random list about themselves on their GE Reports blog.

Here’s an excerpt from their post describing the concept and a few of their random facts:

“In a nutshell, it involves writing 25 unconnected facts about yourself and then proudly sharing (or over-sharing) the post with the world via a chain-letter note to all of your web friends. Are we late to the party? Maybe, but it’s such a good idea, we just couldn’t resist.

1. We’re really into wind: We’re the #1 manufacturer of wind turbines in the United States with more than 10,000 wind turbines installed globally.
2. In 2008, GE filed over 2,500 patents worldwide.
3. Every day, GE Evolution locomotives save so much fuel it’s like taking 43,000 cars off U.S. roads.
4. Aircraft engines from GE and its partners carry 3.5 million commercial passengers every day.
5. Hulu, the web video joint venture of NBC Universal and Fox, is part of an evil plot by invading aliens to make you watch more TV. Really.”

Disclosure: GE is a Blog Council member (and an awesome one at that!), but even if they weren’t, we’d write about them anyway.
