SOCIAL MEDIA FACTS TO BLOW YOUR MIND

I am really passionate about the benefits of social media and feel excited about how it is shaping the future of business.

PR, Marketing and Social media go hand in hand as more and more of us realise what an incredibly powerful tool social media can be when used correctly.

I recently came across a really interesting report, cheekily entitled, What the F*** is social media now.

I would like to share with you some of the interesting facts..

• If Facebook was a country it would be the third most popular in the world, ahead of the US
• 500 Billion........The number of minutes spent on Facebook- per month!!.. Last year that number was only 150 billion!
• Every 60 secs, 24 hours of video content is uploaded to You Tube
• 95% of companies now used Linked-in to find or attract employees
• The average number of tweets per day on twitter is 27 million!
• 1 in 6 - The number of marriages last year between people who met through social media
  

Social media is the on-going conversation of the planet. I think it is a big part of human nature to want to communication, reach out and connect with others.

Social media is like water....
On it's own water does some cool things, but when combined with other compounds it enabled the evolution of all forms of life.

Social Media on it's own is nice, but when combined with other tools, it is enabling everything to evolve, from communications to business, to politics, to marketing.-Mile Volpe- hubspot.com

Social media has now reached such a critical mass that it is hard to ignore.

Still confused, don't worry, watch this great little video which explains social media in plain English

Social media is redefining how we work, play, learn, share, discover, create, complain, celebrate,mourn, applaud, influence, collaborate, investigate and evaluate.
