The Growth of Social Media

Just over a year ago we shared the video Social Media Revolution with you. Thirteen months later the video has been followed-up and updated by Socialnomics author Erik Qualman. A few of the new highlights include:

  • More than half of the world’s population is under 30
  • Facebook tops Google for weekly U.S. Internet traffic
  • Ashton Kutcher and Britney Spears have more Twitter followers than the populations of Sweden, Israel, Switzerland, Ireland, Norway and Panama
  • 50% of mobile Internet traffic in the UK is on Facebook
  • During the 4+ minutes it takes to watch the video, more than 100 hours’ worth of video will be uploaded to YouTube
  • Amazon sold more electronic books for the Kindle than physical books on Christmas
  • If you were paid $1 for each posted Wikipedia article, you’d make $1,712.32 per hour.

The surprising truth about what motivates us

The way we think affect effects how we work, which in turn affects the work we produce or the services we deliver. Seem obvious? Perhaps it does, but not all of us see what’s staring us in the face.

If you want to motivate people to do the right things, it’s important to motive them in the right way.

Social media – fad or revolution?

Google Buzz

Google has launched a new social media platform which will rival the likes of Facebook and Twitter. Google Buzz is geared to ‘integrate social sharing with email’; product manager for Gmail and Google Buzz Todd Jackson wrote on the official blog that the tool is available for use on conventional computers as well as mobiles.

Intermedia Solutions and Winkball are currently developing an interfacing platform, which will be geared towards corporates as an alternative internal comms platform.
