NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareablee, Inc. (www.shareablee.com), the leading social business intelligence platform, today released its Cross-Platform Social Engagement Ranking.

Measuring unified social audiences on over 110 Broadcast and Cable Networks (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), Shareablee has identified January's top social performers, and the increasingly critical engagement platform: Instagram.

"Although Instagram followers represent just 1% of the TV network social population compared to Facebook and Twitter, it accounted for 21% of the engaged audience, generating 68 times more engagement per post than Twitter" said Tania Yuki CEO of Shareablee. "This reveals huge returns for first-mover Networks on Instagram – nearly 40% of TV Networks have not even joined the platform. Although Facebook still owns 71% of all social actions in this category, audiences are opting for ever more visual ways to interact with their favorite programs, and that means Instagram."
