Thanks to my good friend Facundo from Channelship for bringing this video to my attention. It’s from Erik Qualman, author of Socialnomics

Some statistics from the video:

  • By 2010 Gen Y will outnumber Baby Boomers… 96% of them have joined a social network
  • Social Media has overtaken porn as the #1 activity on the Web
  • Years to Reach 50 millions Users: Radio (38 Years), TV (13 Years), Internet (4 Years), iPod (3 Years)… Facebook added 100 million users in less than 9 months… iPhone applications hit 1 billion in 9 months.
  • % of companies using LinkedIn as their primary tool to find employees… 80%
  • There are over 200,000,000 Blogs
  • Because of the speed in which social media enables communication, word of mouth now becomes world of mouth
