Social Media Graphics
The social media space is growing so fast it is hard to keep track of the latest statistics, even for us who are working from the trenches on a daily basis. Take a look at this latest graph of Twitter’s growth for example:
What’s interesting about this particular piece of data is that it focuses on usage, rather than the number of members – which can be a misleading statistic. After all, members are pretty useless unless they actually actively use a service or platform like Twitter.
We have also recently noticed an influx of infographics into our Twitter streams, e-mail inboxes and Google Buzz accounts. They range from pretty useful to completely useless, but extremely funny.
To help you keep track of all the latest data, graphics and statistics about social media I would like to point you in the direction of this Posterous blog, which is aptly named “Social Media Graphics” - it’s exactly what it says on the tin, a blog filled with the latest graphics about social media.
Graphics like these tend to be great at quickly giving an insight into data and providing you with a snapshot without having to delve deeply into the data yourself. They are excellent for showing the growth of this space and help to convince clients how important it is to be active within this arena.
The blog provides great inspiration and makes for excellent weekend reading!

Although stats on the number of members can be misleading, so can stats like the one that is showcased here.
From data I have seen a small number of Twitter folks account for most of the tweets. So this graph could just mean that that small number is tweeting even more. It could mean more people are using the platform regularly. But without measurement of other variables, we will never know.
What is needed is the average number of tweets per day per Twitter user. This would tell me how widely Twitter is used as a platform of communication by the gerneal population.

Hi Kevin – you are absolutely right in saying that these stats in isolation lack any meaning.
If anything this stats just shows how massively Twitter has grown in a very short span of time. This is about as viral as it gets!
Thanks for the post. Good insight!
