Some say Facebook and Social Media is just a passing fad? The statistics show otherwise, gathered from ‘Socialnomics’ by Erik Qualman. The fastest growing segment on Facebook is females aged 55-65. There are 60 million status updates happening on Facebook daily. In truth, we no longer search for the news; the news finds us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the other Social Media sites. Soon we will no longer search for products and services; they will find us via Social Media. Already today Facebook tops Google for weekly traffic in the United States and 50% of the mobile Internet traffic in the United Kingdom is for Facebook.
What does this mean? Facebook isn’t a fad; it’s a fundamental shift in the way we communicate. Social Media is transforming the way we live and do business. We can avoid it or embrace it. However we must be sensible in how we use it, who we friend and what we post. Remember, ‘What happens in Vegas stays on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube……’
