A Couple of Social Media Statistics to Blow Your Mind

By | August 19, 2009

My friend Whit just sent me this video, thanks Whit. Have you seen it yet? What do you think?

It seems fitting since I am leaving to Seattle tomorrow to attend Gnomedex. Will I see you there?


Here’s how I can help you?


Enjoy it? Please share it.

    Social Media is undoubtfully very powerfull and is here to stay, but I think a lot of the stats are either only related to the US or maybe not even true. 35% of all Amazon Book sales are for the kindle? That to me sounds shifty. Even Kindle users say they barely know anyone else that uses one. xy% of companies use linkedin to hire people? That also sounds like a US stat to me.

    Nontheless, it's pretty fascinating. I hope we can just figure out in the future of how not to forget the people behind the technology. I don't want to become a tech controlled freak, that does not know how to have meaningfull relationships in real life.

    Alas i won't be Gnome-ing this year but tresut you'll manage to come up with enough fun to compensate. Be sure to shout a hurrah for Amber Case and Jay & Leah's prezos for me.

    Ha! For sure.
    It's true about some stats not being accurate. Many have likely
    changed since the video was uploaded to YouTube.

    MediaCurves.com conducted a study on 267 Americans that found a vast majority of Americans (87%) reported that they currently use a social networking site. Facebook ranks at the top of the list, with 74% of respondents indicating that they are currently signed up for the site. Less than half of Americans (42%) indicated that they use MySpace, compared to one-third (34%) who reported that they use Twitter and 15% who reported using LinkedIn.

    Love the collection and presentation of information. How do I start a conversation about permission to use this (or parts of it) as part of a larger presentation to colleagues at work?

    It's on YouTube, just click it and share it.

    If you're going to edit it I recommend contacting the original producer.

    Hope that helps.
