Some of you are saying “thanks captain obvious,” but when was the last time you really considered the scope of Social Media’s popularity. Back in 2002 when all this craziness began, it was a word that was fairly new and its definition was obscure. Fast forward to 2009 and social media is taking over the world! According to Bambi Francisco (great name) with VatorNews “Today, for the first time ever on a global basis, social networks are more popular than email.”
Social Media has grown into a monster, two-thirds of the planet are on social media websites now. Facebook is currently the king, with 175 million active users. Surpassing MySpace with a higher number of visitors, Facebook peaked at 132 million. Currently the top 3 Social Media sites are Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. I can honestly say I don’t know a single person who isn’t on one of these three sites.
