Social Media Revolution
How much is Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google involved in your common day activities? Did you ever ask yourself that? Where would you be if those didn’t exist?
Well there thousands of those existential questions that you may or may not asked yourself, and there’s no need to get real philosophical about this, but we sure can be certain that those technologies, web apps and more have an important presence in most of our days.
About those presences, here’s a very interesting video about the facts of several of these social tools, technologies and media: “Social Media Revolution”
Here are some of the facts that caught my attention:
- Social media has overtaken porn as the #1 activity on the web
- 1 of 8 couples married in the US met via social media
- If Facebook were a country, it would be the world’s 4th largest
- TV took 13 years to reach 50 million users, Facebook took less than 9 months to reach 100 millions
- Ashton Kutcher has more Twitter followers than the entire population of Ireland, Norway and Panama
- 80% of Twitter usage is on mobile devices
- Wikipedia has over 13 million articles
- 80% of companies are using LinkedIn as their primary tool to find employees
- Only 18% of traditional TV campaigns generate a positive ROI
- 35% of books sales on Amazon are for Kindle
“Social media isn’t a fad; it’s a fundamental shift in the way we communicate”
