      Did you know that 99% of infographics are made about social media and that 9/10 people surveyed thought that they would be seeing more infographics in 2010?

    3. Douglas Shackelford Says:

      All that activity and how much is Facebook burning through every month? Sounds like another major case of digital “The Emperor’s New Cloths”. Great fun for everyone..but, show me the money.

    4. Mollie Says:

      Are you sure that facebook ads weren’t available until November 2007? I know I suggested them to my supervisor before September. Was there another ad platform that was being used that wasn’t called “Facebook Ads”?

      The top 10 fanpages needs updating.
      Lady Gaga has now acquired more then 16 million fans, over taking Obama who has 12 million.
      She has taken facebook to a whole new dimension. I myself personally as a little monster and a social media consultant have never felt so close to an artist/brand ever before. She is engaged, determined and by all means relevant to her fans’ wants.

      Even though that was an awesome article. Here are some more interesting statistics on Facebook:

      - More than half of companies surveyed (55%) use this social networking site to improve brand awareness and reputation. Just under half are using Facebook as a marketing channel (47%) or for publicizing new content (46%).

      - 65% of companies use Facebook as part of their marketing strategy.

      - Social network ads in the UK are predicted to reach around 4.4% of total online ad spending in 2009.

      Hope these are of some help!

    45. Users, why ain’t you on social media? | Networking with Kenny Says:

      [...] It is impossible to not associate Facebook with social media. Facebook, founded in 2004 by this Harvard dropout undergraduate, Mark Zuckerberg, has reached 550 million users by the end of 2010. It has become the third biggest populations behind India and China. What’s Facebook? Dude, you really want me to explain to you what’s Facebook? It’s less awkward but more useful to ask a girl’s Facebook you newly meet rather than her phone numbers. Unless she’s a Blackberry user, then ask her BB pins is a totally different story. Facebook provides superior user profile navigation depends on how transparent the user is. It might sounds thrilling that a stranger from the other side of the world might know from your favorite color to where you went on New Year’s Eve. The privacy issue is also another major concern for people to withdraw from Facebook. Here is why you should quit Facebook. But, would you really consider quitting Facebook because of privacy invasion; meanwhile, leeching other’s information “involuntarily?” (Well it appears on my News Feed, I do not mean to look at it.) After all, we control what we want to share. What individual look for in Facebook is not the photo of you getting hammered, but the valuable user-generated contents.  For example, we Google a particular product or service, the organic results tend to link us to the product or service’s official website. The messages appear to us tend to be one-sided or highly corporate. But what if we seek user reviews or social responses, social media, or in particular, Facebook, becomes an extremely powerful tool for acquiring social results. After all, quitting Facebook equals quitting social interaction. We hold the control of what we want to share, and we embrace the excellence to mass social engagements. Moreover, stats talk… [...]
