Social Media is More Interesting Than Porn

If you think Social Media is just another fad that will come and go, think again. Social Media Networking represents a significant shift in the way people communicate now and in the future. Facebook has added over 100 million users in just under 9 months; over 65 million of them use it via their mobile phones or Blackberries. The fastest growing demographic is 55-65 old women.

If Facebook was a country it would be the fourth biggest in the world right after China, India and United States. Mark Zuckerberg is therefore one of the top 5 leaders of the free world (well…ok, that’s bit too much.). Close to 15 million pieces of information (photos, wall posts, links, news, notes etc.) are shared on Facebook. Daily. That’s over 10.000 messages in a minute. This platform is the online marketers wet dream come true. The following video by Karl Smith and Scott McLeod shows some distubing facts and figures of the power of Social Media.
