Social Media is changing faster than ever, as if that wasn’t something everyone already knew! If you’re managing social media for your business, it might be useful to know about some of the most surprising social media statistics this year. Here are ten that might make you rethink the way you’re approaching social media. 1. The fastest growing demographic on Twitter is the 55–64 year age bracket. * This demographic has grown 79% since 2012. * The 45–54 year age bracket is the fastest growi
One of the first things I’ve learnt, close to 2 years ago when taking the plunge into Social Media with Buffer, was that things aren’t yet very defined. There guiding metrics and studies are really just in their beginning phase and a lot is still quite vague. To help make things a tiny bit more clear, I thought it might be helpful to collect 10 of the most interesting social media studies and see what we can best learn from them. So without any further ado, let’s dig in and talk about the most
Twitter has fast become not only a very important part of the web as a whole, but also a very integral part to how we consume important and breaking news. Twitter users are increasingly not only getting updates from those whom they elect to follow, but also by choosing to consume new information by searching for a topic in addition to following accounts. The Twitter search portal now receives over
If you think about what you can do in 60 seconds in your life, it is probably not very much. Yet, if we look at all people using Social Media for just 60 seconds, the amount of messages being sent is quite incredible. For example, every 60 seconds, there are over 700,000 messages being delivered on Facebook, 2,000 000 videos are being watched and 175,000 Tweets are sent on Twitter.

This a guestpost from Amanda DiSilvestro, content writer at Business.com. More about Amanda at the bottom of the post. If anyone follows me on Twitter they know that I tweet my own content. I do not tweet only my own content, but I tweet it. I like it. I wrote it. I want others to learn from it. So I tweet it. I see nothing wrong with promoting your personal or your company articles as long as you tweet your connections articles as well. This helps increase the quality of your tweets; therefor
Getting the timing of your posts on Facebook, Twitter and your blog right, isn’t always easy I found. Fortunately, Dan Zarrella, Social Media Scientist has now done a great comparison of the four key things to get right in Social Media: When should you post to Twitter, Facebook, on your blog and send emails? He dug deep into the numbers to find out, when it is most favor
Whilst in the past week, I wanted to focus on tips to help you get the most out of Twitter and using Facebook , there is something quite different about today’s post. How does predicting the future with the likes of Twitter and Facebook sound for you? Personally, I think this is really fascinating. A
Twitter was most recently crowned “the most buzzing network of 2011” . And I think rightly so. Most of Twitter’s recent changes are amazing I believe and make it my personal top Social Network to use. Yet, Twitter is still quite small compared to Facebook. Whilst everyone already has Facebook, the question of “should I use Twitter?” is often hard to answer. Personally, I would go with this
Yes, there are that many reasons your next job should be found through Social Media. In fact, this is the number of people that have used either Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook for finding a job this year in America alone. Personally, I think that this is a mindblowing number. It’s also interesting that LinkedIn comes in 2nd after Facebook on top and Twitter third for getting you a job. Here is the breakdown in numbers: * 18,400,000 people found a job through Facebook * 8,000,000 people found
Once upon a time, long, long ago, in an age when there was no such thing as Twitter or Facebook, who decided what information we could access? Traditional media: the few controlling the gates of information to the masses. It was the editors and their bosses, publishers and corporations that decided for us. But who decides what’s hot today? You do! Thanks to social media, today it’s power to the people! And it’s no longer traditional media stories that are hot. Everyday it’s Twitter users, bl
The other day Joel and I went to the beach for a quick break in between work on Buffer. At home I love to do a few pull-ups in my breaks, but I forgot to bring my pull-up bar to Spain. So instead we would every few days cycle to the beach where there is a playground right next to it. It has a somewhat similar installation to a pull-up bar built for children to play on and jump around. This time there was a bunch of children playing vividly and it didn’t make the impression they wanted to take
