I gave a presentation recently to a local arts group about Social Media. As I would expect from such a varied group, there were those who embraced the idea of this new media, and those who scrunched up their faces, folded their arms across their chests and basically said “Social Media? Bah Humbug.” They had a hard time swallowing what some of the numbers showed – that some 75 percent of online users in America spend some time using social media, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Well, here’s a recent article from ComScore that confirms the popularity of social media, particularly Facebook. “Facebook recorded 111.9 million US visitors in December 2009, compared with 54.5 million visitors in December 2008. This propelled the site to become the 4th most visited web property, up from number 11 in 2008. Facebook now accounts for 7% of all time spent online by US visitors.”
