The 360-Degree Ideation SpaceI’m still on a high thanks to yesterday’s social media lunch and learn at Waterloo’s Accelerator Centre where Melissa Schenk, from MS2 Productions, shared this encouraging YouTube video on the Social Media Revolution with the group. And believe me, if there were any doubters in the crowd, they were certainly turned into converts after laying their eyes on strong statistics in this video.
Since it’s Friday (and because I like to show-and-share) I’ll leave you to watch the video and ponder the question it poses: Is social media a fad? Or is it the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution?
Take the weekend to think about the following statements (they were the most powerful statements in my mind):
- Social media has taken over porn as the #1 activity on the Web – Wowza!
- It took the following mediums how many years to reach 50 million users?
- Radio = 38 years
- TV = 13 years
- Internet = 4 years
- IPod = 3 years
- Facebook = had 100 million users in less than 9 months
- And lastly, if Facebook were a country it would be the fourth largest in the world!
Now do you still think social media can’t help your business?
