More about the Count – I quickly built and coded the app based on data culled from a range of social media sources & sites originally at the end of Sept 2009. The social web has exploded in the last year and below are some of the social media statistics based on key data points that the ‘Gary’s Social Media Count’ is based on (many will be updated!). UPDATED/REARRANGED Jan 2011 – TAKING INTO ACCOUNT VARIOUS 2010 STATS Some of the sources for the mobile counter. 19% of Internet Users Now Use Status Updates. The Pew Internet and American Life Project is part of a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that explores trends around the Internet, publishing reports about their findings on a regular basis.
From Pew's research we've learned that men waste more time on YouTube than women, and that earlier in the year 11% of online adults publish status updates. In a remarkable new report, Pew is reporting that the 11% number has skyrocketed to 19% in less than a year, which means that now almost 1/5 of the entire online population publish or read status updates on sites like Twitter. This data is especially poignant given Bing's announcement around integrating real-time tweets and Facebook status updates within search results. Clearly, a growing number of users are publishing content in real-time, which creates an even greater demand for the ability to search those same status updates, and right now Bing has the edge.

Libérer tout le potentiel des technologies sociales. Un nouveau rapport de Forrester Research explique que les téléphones mobiles détiennent la clef pour libérer tout le potentiel des technologies sociales. Voilà pourquoi : l’expérience sociale numérique est fragmentée. Les internautes ont des identités différentes sur chacun des réseaux sociaux qu’ils visitent. Mais dans le futur, l’identité sociale universelle permettra de faire émerger une identité portable qui donnera le pouvoir aux consommateurs. C’est alors que le téléphone mobile deviendra le « hub » des activités sociales en ligne – le ciment du « graphe social ». « Le mobile connecté en permanence libère le social du carcan du PC et le propulse dans le monde réel », écrit l’analyste de Forrester, Thomas Husson. « Les fabricants, les opérateurs mobiles, et les acteurs Internet prennent le train en marche et aspirent tous à accéder au carnet d’adresses sociales des consommateurs ».
Recommandations L'étude "Why Mobile Could Reinvent Social Computing" STUDY: 20% Of Tweets Contain Brand Name. After examining (I would imagine painstakingly) half a million tweets, a group of researchers from Penn State found out that 20% of them contain a brand name. These “branded” tweets generally contain either requests for product information or responses to the brand. Starbucks and Dell, which have the highest engagement on the web, are probably two of the brands getting the spotlight from users. “People are using tweets to express their reaction, both positive and negative, as they engage with these products and services,” said Jansen, associate professor of information science and technology in the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) at Penn State.
“Tweets are about as close as one can get to the customer point of purchase for products and services.” Is this a social media invasion? I wouldn’t consider it to be an invasion when we, the users are the one contributing to the “branded” tweets. 20% of the tweets represent real people talking about a particular brand or product.
