I stumbled upon this quick list of stats today at Jeff Bullas’s blog. It’s a quick and dirty rundown on exactly how fast social media is spreading:
- Facebook is traveling at over 400 million users with over 100 million added in 9 months
- MySpace has over 57 million unique members in the US alone
- Twitter is growing at over 1000% in the last 12 months with a similar growth in the previous year
- Twitter has over 75 million users making over 50 million tweets a day
- Linkedin is now at over 60 million users
- YouTube is now serving over 32.4 billion videos a month to Gen Y and any other generation that loves a good video in the USA alone
- The number of blogs is estimated at over 200 million
