Those that aren’t expanding beyond the reach of Facebook and Twitter are missing out on some amazing opportunities. ”

Everything about our lives, from where where we went to high school and what we ate for breakfast this morning, can be found on the internet. If you think that's bad, think about children growing up today – their entire lives, from infancy through middle school, are being documented by their parents on Facebook! Privacy just doesn't exist online anymore; it can take drastic measures to delete ourselves from the internet, but here's a step-by-step guide for those who want to do so...

HootSuite, using data from recent acquisition uberVU, have produced this infographic which takes a closer look at the top social stats from the Sochi Winter Olympics.

@YouTube remains the top, most-followed brand on Twitter, with its close to 40 million followers placing it well ahead of all other brands, including the official @Twitter profile.Indeed, @Twitter isn’t even second on its own network – that space has long been reserved for @Instagram, although both are some distance behind @YouTube. There’s also quite a divide between Twitter’s top three and fourth-placed @cnnbrk. Social media profiles continue to dominate Twitter, accounting for six of the first seven spots.Meanwhile, @TwitPic has actually lost followers month-on-month, and falls below @NBA to 14th place overall.
