The World of Social Media

Erik Qualman said “We don’t have a choice on whether we do social media, the question is how well we do it.”

Social Media has really changed the way people are doing business and interacting with their clients. Social media is about building relationships, communicating and presenting a brand personality to your customers.

I recently watched two different videos about social media and found the statistics to be eye opening.

“If Facebook were a country, it would be the 3rd largest”

“Every minute 24 hours of Video are uploaded to YouTube.”

“Twitter personal record is… 8900 tweets per second.”

“Every second, two new users sign up to LinkedIn.”

And my favourite stat….

“Smartphone owners are twice more active on social media as non smartphone users. 60%  admit to using their device while going to the bathroom.”

Take a look at these two videos.

I am very interested to hear about what you thought, and what statistics blew your mind.
