The growth of social media put in perspective
Gary Hayes over at Personalize Media has created a very interesting little Flash app that shows how quickly certain areas of social media are growing. It's common knowledge that social media is growing at a rapid pace, but Gary has put together a visual depiction of this fact. For those who are using social media for more effective marketing, this puts some things in perspective.
Those who haven't been spending a lot of energy on social media should take a look at the app below. If it's not working at the moment, you can view the app here.
You can also see how important mobile media is getting. Mobile media is obviously something people need to start spending more energy on. With the phones getting smarter, the marketers who advertise on them need to catch up.
Most people are familiar with these statistics on some sense, but it's different when they are put on display like this. This app shows just how important it is to take advantage of new media in any way you can. There's just too much activity going on to ignore it.
