Social Media Revolution

Written by Marc Metekohy on August 16th, 2009 | 7 comments

A nice presentation created by Erik Qualman from SocialNomics. The presentation gives examples of the growth of social media.

See some examples and data which could be very interesting to you…

• By 2010 Gen Y will outnumber Baby Boomers

• 96% of them have joined a social network

• 1 out of 8 couples married in the US last year have met via social media

• Facebook added 100 million users in 9 months

• If Facebook would be a country, it would be the world’s 4th largest

• 80% of companies are using LinkedIn as their primary tool to find employees

• 80% of Twitter usage is on mobile devices. People update anywhere, anytime. Imagine what that means for bad customer experiences?

• In 2009 Boston College stopped distributing e-mail addresses to incoming freshmen

• YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world

• There are over 200.000.000 Blogs. 54% of bloggers post content or tweet daily.

And the list continues. Marketeers; be aware of this growth and use it at its full potential.
