Over the last few months, I’ve bookmarked and read hundreds of posts. And, like many of you, have catalogued the myriad of social media stats that come our way each day.
There’s almost too many social media stats–but a few of my favorite posts with aggregated stats are this one from B2B Social Media and this one from Danny Brown.
But, instead of giving you yet another post with stats that support this digital marketing claim or that, I thought I’d share a few that really raised an eyebrow for me over the last few months.
* 75 percent of Brand ‘Likes’ on Facebook come from advertisements. (Mashable)
* More than 250 million people use Facebook Connect every month. (Facebook)
* College-aged kids (18-24) made up the fastest growing segment of users on Facebook in 2010. (AllFacebook.com)
