Fascinating infographics — thanks for sharing them.
“The Social Media Landscape” is the best organized and most helpful one for me. The others, while colorful and interesting, were somewhat overwhelming due to the sheer amount of information they present. I teach workshops for business people who are just starting out in social media, and these graphs would scare most of them to death!
Hi Laura, I know the look on faces of marketeers beginning with social media when being confronted with some of the images above.
However, I do feel that history (The Boom of Social Sites), analytics (What are people doing) and demographics (Social Media Demographics) are also key in understanding the social sphere. Thnx for your comment!
This is really great and we actually have a lot of these graphs floating around the office – definitely very helpful!!
Thnx! These are also the ones that are hanging on the wall at my office.
That Social Media prism infographic was pretty stunning!
These are great!! I would like to share one of my own. SEO Infographic
And a social media one as well. Social Media Infographic
Wow! These infographics are great. I can’t say I have come across very many, but they are extremely practical for building a business, and finding your target audience. Are infographics created by your everyday graphic designers? or does it take a strong background in statistics too?
Thanks for the post!
