We’re big fans of social media here at Fresh Egg, and recently I found an updated version of an incredible video from the guys at Socialnomics which I thought I’d share with you
Some really interesting points raised here, particularly in the content of how we use Google and Facebook and how these conventions are beginning to shift (see my earlier post ‘I use Google for search and Facebook for banter’). Facebook is becoming extremely popular and is now the most visited site on the web according to Google:
Interestingly, this information (taken from Google AdWords) doesn’t include Google. Why would the search engine giant exclude itself from its’ own statistics? Perhaps it’s because they don’t rank no.1 anymore…. In the video they suggest that Facebook is a bigger site (more visited) than Google in the USA; I would update this slightly by stating it’s now the most visited site in the World, as this graphic suggests:

This just serves to prove how important social media is and how intertwined it has become with modern youth culture. Social media is not a fad and should be embraced as part of any companies online strategy.

A great presentation from Socialnomics, and the book is a very good (and easy) read also.
A few of the stats in the film are out of date, recent reports show that newspapers may be seeing an uplift, ever so slight but an uplift. What about Tumblr, is this having an impact? Will Google Me, if it happens kill off Facebook. This is an ever changing landscape, thanks for the update.
