Stunning Social Media Statistics, Is Your Blog Auto-Connected?
Do you use Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube? Did you know you could set up your blog to auto-populate your content to many of these networks (yes, we can help!)? While these spaces can be overwhelming to manage, it’s pertinent to know some facts. The statistics are astounding (and also changing so fast, they are hard to find!). Take a look at a few facts I collected from around the net:
According to Hitwise, on March 13, 2010 Facebook surpassed Google (yes, Google) as the number one most visited website.

“Folks were tweeting 5,000 times a day in 2007. By 2008, that number was 300,000, and by 2009 it had grown to 2.5 million per day. Tweets grew 1,400% last year to 35 million per day. Today, we are seeing 50 million tweets per day—that’s an average of 600 tweets per second.” Twitter Blog
“As of early this morning, LinkedIn has 50 million users worldwide and we’re growing that figure at roughly one new member per second. When LinkedIn launched in 2003, it took 477 days — almost a year and four months — to reach our first million members. This last million took only 12 days.” LinkedIn Blog
YouTube (direct from their fact sheet)
People are watching hundreds of millions of videos a day on YouTube and uploading hundreds of thousands of videos daily. In fact, every minute, 20 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube.
Our user base is broad in age range, 18-55, evenly divided between males and females, and spanning all geographies. Fifty-one percent of our users go to YouTube weekly or more often, and 52 percent of 18-34 year-olds share videos often with friends and colleagues. With such a large and diverse user base, YouTube offers something for everyone.
What does all this mean? Well for one thing, the term “viral marketing” has never been more apt. There are ways to manage your social media spaces and ensure that your branded content is reaching these audiences.
