The State of Social Media in 2013

Every year, my friend Erik Qualman updates his phenomenal Socialnomics video with the most current social media facts and figures. It’s always astounding to see Erik’s work – and the numbers are fairly mind blowing as well. A few statistics that stuck out from the latest update: -Each day 20% of Google searches have never been searched before (Think about that for a second. We like to think we know everything. Yet search shows a different story.) -92% of children in the U.S. have a digital footprint/shadow (the focus of Erik’s latest book, Digital Leader) -72 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute -90% of people trust online recommendations from friends or people they know You can watch the latest Socialnomics video below. https://youtu.be/TXD-Uqx6_Wk
