More startling statistics on Social Media. This time just on Facebook (check back for Twitter tomorrow). The numbers are staggering, sometimes so large that they verge on incomprehensible. By the way, these numbers came, in one for or another, from www.kunocreative.com (I tip my hat to you!) who got many of them from www.mashable.com (another tip of the hat!).
We know already that Facebook has 500 million users. But did you know that 50%, that is 250 million, of them log on every day. WOW!
Further, that 500 million users of Facebook translates to about one person out of every 14!!!
40% of the Facebook user base is age 35 and up.
One out of every eight minutes on line is spent on Facebook.
34% of Facebook users are from North America, 32% from Europe, 20% from Asia, 9% from South America, 3% from Africa and 2% from Australia.
US Internet users spend 3 times more minutes on blogs and social media than they do on emails (okay, that wasn't about Facebook, but I thought I would slip it in anyway).
Think about the potential for reaching and engaging with people based on these numbers. The potential is amazing.
