Social media participation is revolutionary

by Joe Spake on August 12, 2009

Social media has overtaken porn as the number one activity on the Web.

I have seen most of the statistics in this video, but never in one place.  Some very interesting stuff.  And we still have some folks saying Social Media is a fad.  The numbers are astronomical, and Social Media is still not accepted as mainstream by a large segment of the population.

Transcription of the facts in the video can be found in this post.

    Dori, Proof that Web 2.0 and Social Media are not fads, but a part of the fabric of our lives. I share the video with as many of my clients and students as I can. Thanks for your comment.

    This is nothing new on social media, but invasion of privacy is at risk. The findings are more about the way that the web is changing. We used to just be able to read information that others published – and so it was an ideal environment for getting access to information or content you couldn’t easily find elsewhere. It was in this environment that porn flourished. Thats all it is. Whats the Big deal?
