"Grâce à Scoop.it et Flick.fr, je suis "tombé" sur un tableau présenté par "catspyjamasnz", une participante à un MOOC aux USA.

Le tableau compare les avantages des Plateformes de formation, de Scoop.it et de Pinterest pour partager des contenus au sein d'une communauté d'apprentissage.

Je ne suis pas un anglisciste brillant, j'ai donc patiemment traduit le tableau, ...et cette traduction en a fait apparaître les faiblesses, que j'ai essayé de gommer ici en partie."

Interest Stats in Pinterest Infographic...

This piece was written by Dave Copeland for Readwriteweb. There have been many articles about Pinterest but if you do nothing else, read the white paper by Engauge and report they're referring to. It is absolutely the best one I've seen to date. (more details below)

 

The most important thing in this piece is the report, here's what you'll see:

 

A new Engauge white paper breaks down:

 

**the make-up of the average Pinterest user 

 

**shows that the end result of less reading is more of a focus on content curation than creation.

 

**The timing of that trend, combined with a stunning design when Internet users are focusing more on visual than text, has allowed Pinterest to explode in popularity.

 

This is what caught my attention - a quote from a user:

 

"When I'm looking for new trends on specific topics like fashion or birthday party themes, I now search Pinterest first -- not Google." - Karah Street

As the "It" social network of 2012, Pinterest has gained over 10 million users in just over 2 years. Major brands are seriously looking to Pinterest to drive more traffic and increase sales.

 

Did you know:

• Pinterest is now the 3rd most popular social network in the U.S. in terms of traffic? (Experian)
• 80% of Pinterest users are female? (comScore)
• Shoppers referred by Pinterest are 10% more likely to make a purchase than visitors who arrive from other social networks, including Facebook and Twitter? (Wayfair)

Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest – What Happens Every 60 Seconds In Social Media?

 

Some very interesting information:

 

**Did you know that every 60 seconds Twitter sees (on average) 175,000 new tweets?

 

**Over that same time period, Pinterest receives 1,090 visitors

 

**LinkedIn absorbs 7,610 searches

 

**Flickr users upload 3,125 photos?

 

 **If you think those numbers are impressive, how about this: each and every minute of the day, 700,000 messages are sent on Facebook

 

** two million videos are watched on YouTube.

 

What caught my attention - sometimes the comments are just as interesting if not more than the actual content itself:

 

****Sarah Upton says: February 28, 2012 at 11:23 pm - This is a comment from one of their readers:

 

Misleading and inaccurate.

 

You cite an article on Foursquare from AUGUST, then round DOWN. They get over five million check ins per day: http://mashable.com/2012/02/28/foursquare-hq-tour/ — so double what you’ve presented here.

 

Jumpstart was very apologetic and said they're trying to be as accurate as possible. Point being, these infographics are great to look at and give us an approximation of what's actually happening, trying to keep the facts straight, not an easy task for sure:-)

 

This data is courtesy of a new infographic from marketing consultancy firm Social Jumpstart, which takes a closer look and tries to be as accurate as possible at what happens in social media every 60 seconds.
