Social Media Facts!
The days of just Facebook and Twitter are long gone with the likes of Google and Pinterest are both emerging to become a force to be reckoned with.
Every news article claims something different with X having more followers Y, Y growing faster than X. Z being trendier than X and Y. With this in mind I decided to take a look at the facts……

Facebook originally established itself as THE social media website and has stood the test of time (remember Myspace?). However times are changing. Twitter is now more popular than ever and isn’t going anywhere whilst Google and Pinterest are growing at an astonishing rate.
The truth is users aren’t just using one social media website, there embracing them all. Each has its own unique selling point. Twitter broke the news of Whitney Houston’s death 27 minutes before the press. Pinterest users are sharing their favourite collected items with the world. Facebook users are liking statuses, creating party events and sharing photos whilst Google users have got a hangout for every social group.
No single social media site will land on top. User’s will continue to Like, Tweet, Pin, 1, share, post and comment!!
