The Social Media Revolution - Updated

By now the world needs little convincing about the power and impact of social media.
First released in 2009 this video has had over 2 million views and Socialnomics have just updated it.

Key points to consider in your digital strategy:

• Facebook now tops Google for weekly traffic in U.S. (time to review your SEO strategy)
• 1 in 8 couples married in the U.S. met via Social Media (no wonder your company filters identify most sites as "dating"!)
• 80% of companies now use social media for recruitment (got to update that LinkedIn profile)
• If Facebook were a country it would be the world's 3rd largest (and this doesn't even count China)
• Facebook accounts for 50% of mobile Internet traffic in the UK
• What Happens In Vegas stays on Facebook, YouTube, Flickr. (you can run but you can't hide)
