Think Social Media is a Fad?? Here are Statistics that are amazing..
My friend Jeremy D. Brown (he is a business partner of Bob Proctor) have been consulting with companies and individuals all over the world for the past year regarding social media …some still feel it is a fad…
here are some stats that are pretty staggering:
-By 2010 Generation Y will outnumber Baby Boomers, 96% of them are on a social network
-Social media has overtaken porn as the #1 activity on the web (thank goodness)
-To reach 50 million users, it took radio 38 years, TV 13 years, the internet 4 years, the Ipod 3 years, and Facebook got to 100 million users in 9 MONTHS!
-If Facebook were a country, it would be the 4th largest in the world, just behind the US
-1 out of 6 higher education students are enrolled in an online university and a US Department of Education study revealed, on average, they are outperforming the students who are face-to-face
-80% of companies are using LinkedIn as their PRIMARY tool to find employees
-The fastest growing segment on Facebook is 55-65 year old females
-80% of Twitter updates are done via a mobile phone…what do you think this means for CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE…you will leverage this or be leveraged by it via unhappy customers…
-EMAIL IS OLD…in 2009 Boston College stopped giving new students email addresses because Gen Y considers it to be passe`….
This is the biggest shift in media we have yet to experience…you will lead the way or get drug in…I hope you choose to lead!
