Is social media a fad or really a revolution? This topic of discussion has a bit of buzz at SearchEngineWatch.
Some of the most interesting statistics I found were:
- Years to reach 50 millions users: Radio, 38 years; TV, 13 years; Internet, 4 years; iPod, 3 years. Facebook added 100 million users in less than nine months; iPhone applications hit 1 billion in nine months.
- A 2009 U.S. Department of Education study revealed that, on average, online students outperformed those receiving face-to-face instruction
- Eighty percent of companies use LinkedIn as their primary tool to find employees.
Because of the speed in which social media enables communication, word of mouth now becomes world of mouth.
What do you think social media is – fad or revolution? I think it’s here to stay.
