Social Media – Statistics
Social Media – StatisticsOn the daily commute people have two or three options. Fall asleep, do make up, listen to ipods or read the local free papers.
I came across a small piece from the London Metro (23/03/10) which reported some social networking statistics which I thought I’d report to my blog readers:
More than 28 million Britons use social networking sites – 77% of the online population. Facebook is used by 50% of internet users in Britain and Twitter by 42%.
The average Briton user has 173 ‘friends’ – compared with a global average of 195. Worldwide, 72% of all internet users log on to social networking sites – making a total of 940 million people. The sites are most popular in South America where 95% of all internet users subscribe. Just four out of ten web users in Asia are on networking sites.

Very attractive population for businesses to market to however, think of it this way. Companies are marketing to these people 24 hours a day 7 days a week. However, these subscribers – when are they working!!
