The Social Media Revolution Rolls On

You’ve probably felt the rumblings, heard the buzz and/or seen the signs – there’s a revolution underway and it’s only picking up steam. Social media is quite frankly where it’s at these days and is where business happens. We, at GTK Solutions, would like to thank Danny Brown for blogging about facts on social media. Check out what he listed just about Facebook:

1. The average Facebook user has 130 friends.
2. More than 25 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) is shared each month.
3. Over 300,000 users helped translate the site through the translations application.
4. More than 150 million people engage with Facebook on external websites every month.
5. Two-thirds of comScore’s U.S. Top 100 websites and half of comScore’s Global Top 100 websites have integrated with Facebook.
6. There are more than 100 million active users currently accessing Facebook through their mobile devices.
7. People that access Facebook via mobile are twice as active than non-mobile users (think about that when designing your Facebook page).
8. The average Facebook user is connected to 60 pages, groups and events.
9. People spend over 500 billion minutes per month on Facebook.
10. There are more than 1 million entrepreneurs and developers from 180 countries on Facebook.

Statistics from Facebook press office. For more cool facts about social media, read his blog post HERE.

We came across this updated version of “The Social Media Revolution” video (2010 version) on YouTube. This video is now out of date. At the time, the video stated that Facebook had 350 million users. Facebook has now passed 620 million users. It seems like it was just a month ago that they broke 500 million!

The revolution is going on. Notice that the video states that 83% of all businesses use Facebook. Read that again! If you haven’t seen this video yet, give it a watch – chew on it, digest it and share it.

Have a favorite video on social media? Comment and send us the link. We’d love to watch it and might even post it or add it as a Favorite on our YouTube page.
