You're probably asking yourself where social media fits on the whole 'information highway' - well here's some great info.
info source: econsultancy.com & wikipedia.org
- Twitter now has 190 million user accounts.
- LinkedIn has over 90 million members worldwide. This means an increase of around 1m members month-on-month since July/August 2009.
- Facebook currently has in excess of 600 million active users in 2011, 350 million active users in 2010, 250 million in 2009… meaning around a 40% increase of users from 2009 to 2010 and now it's nearly doubled.
- Flickr now hosts more than 5 billion images.
- There are more than 3.5 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, etc.) shared each week on Facebook.
- The average number of tweets per hour is around 1.3 million.
- 70% of bloggers are organically talking about brands on their blog.
The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to social media and where it fits in our lives. It's hard to believe that only a handful of years ago these communication platforms either did not exist or where not to be heard about. These things are changing the planet, our politics, marketing, and the way human beings communicate.
Wingtip Creative Media can help you in your social marketing efforts.
