‘The Sharing Avalanche’ charts the rise in the amount of information being shared and indeed, the numbers are staggering.
According to the infographic, people spend almost a quarter of their time online on social media sites with as many as 250 million photos uploaded to Facebook every day.
And if Facebook were a country, it would be the third largest country in population numbers, behind India and China, and is set to overtake the latter in 3-5 years.
However, the infographic also notes that only half of Facebook users log in each day and just 47% Twitter accounts are active.
More importantly, the illustration highlights that social media will continue to grow, especially among businesses.
This is in part due to it having evolved from a one-way service to a two-way conversation.
Thanks to social media, our ability to engage brands, politicians and news organizations has manifold—in a way that was not possible before.
