Infographic: the History of Social Media

Infographic: the History of Social Media | Online & social | Scoop.it

There’s nothing new under the sun?

There’s an assumption that, just because social media keeps evolving and we start to use new tools, that ‘social media’ is a new phenomenon. Nothing could be further from the truth.

 

This informative infographic tells the story of how people have been social on the internet, from the birth of email and Usenet to up-to-date tools like Pinterest and Google+.

Bart van Maanen's insight:

Mooie tijdlijn over de recente geschiedenis van social media. Wat stond er in die eerste e-mail? En daarvoor dan? Dinosaurussen! LOL

Interesting timeline of events, statistics + trends, as they pertain to the 'social history of the internet'...

The format and graphics enable a strong and clear visual understanding of the content being shared and a straightforward means to compare various points in time with regard to the internet in general, as well as specific social media platforms.

Google+ Is Now The Number Two Social Network In The World

Google+ Is Now The Number Two Social Network In The World | Online & social | Scoop.it

Reports now show that Google+ has surpassed Twitter in active users and is second only to Facebook.


A new report by Global Web Index shows that Google+ has surpassed Twitter in active users and is second only to Facebook.

 

Technically YouTube was considered #3 and Twitter came in at #4 by the numbers. Although it is good to note that Twitter is actually the fastest growing of them all, with 40% growthin the last quarter.

Interesting that G+ ranks #2 with so few people actually using it as a network. Shows the power of Google that everybody feel like they have to belong to it but so many don't use it :-) Nobody wants to get left behind.

Do you believe that Google+ moved ahead of Twitter?
