Nonprofits have barely gotten started building a presence on Facebook, a new report suggests.

On average, nonprofits had just 110 Facebook fan page users and 19 Twitter followers for every 1,000 email subscribers, according to the Nonprofit Technology Network and M+R Strategic Services’ “2011 eNonprofit Benchmarks Study.”
