Stats on social media world wide
The march trendbriefing from Trendwatch held some interesting numbers about social media world wide:
- Japan and Germany were the only countries out of 22 surveyed where a majority of online users did not use social networking. (Source: Pew, December 2010.)
- Twitter boasts 200 million accounts, and 95 million daily tweets. (Source: twitter.com, February 2011.)
- The Netherlands is the country with the deepest Twitter reach, with 22.3% of online adults using the service. Next up were Brazil (21.8%) Venezuela (21.1%) and Japan (20%). (Source: Comscore; December 2010.)
- The popular Chinese instant messaging platform QQ has over 600 million active users.(Source: QQ, March 2011.)
- Foursquare saw 380 million check-ins in 2010, up 3,400% on 2009 (Source: foursquare.com, January 2011.)
- Just 33% of internet users say they worry about how much information is available about them online, down from 40% in December 2006. (Source: Pew, May 2010.)
- The 500 million active Facebook users share over 30 billion pieces of content per month. The average user has 130 friends. (Source: Facebook, February 2011.)
I was impressed by the numbers, but the one about Germany struck me as odd, and not entirely consistent with other sources (but then again, numbers never are in this area :-) More a hint than a solid truth). Plus the web – and especially the social web – is ever changing.
