Social network revolution
Tags : facebook, Internet, social networkingCategories : Internet |
Fascinating graphical stats from the BBC, which illustrate the continuing growth of social networking, especially Facebook, which just passed half a billion users. And it seems to me that on a per-capita basis Australia is at the forefront of this revolution… and we spend the most time doing it as well!
It’s hard to overestimate the radical change facebook (and twitter to a much lesser extent) with the increasing availability of mobile internet, has had on our lifestyles in the last couple of years. We communicate with, and are connected to people, in a fashion that is completely new. Who could have imagined this sort of thing even 5-10 years ago?
Amazing.
