4 social network platforms by the numbers

March 23rd, 2011

eMedia Vitals, 3/23/11

It is hard to believe that social media networks are a recent phenomenon. An added boost to the power of social media is that the numbers of smart phones and tablets sold are expected to outnumber PCs and notebooks.

Twitter, just five years old, sends out more than 140 million Tweets per day. YouTube, also five years old, is integral to political communication and drives pop culture. Facebook, founded in 2004, just hit a $75 billion valuation on SecondMarket earlier this month.

According to a recent Pew Internet study on social networks, 80% of U.S. internet users participate in groups (24% higher that non-internet user group participation). Further, 82% of social network users and 85% of Twitter users are group participants. The takeaway: social networks are profoundly engaging.

Media Dealmakers Summit: "The Web Is Dead"

February 3rd, 2011

Panelists say torch has passed to the “app Internet.”

Folio, 2/3/11

New York–There was a question during the morning session today at the DeSilva + Phillips Media Dealmakers Summit that crystallized what a lot of people are thinking about the future. “Are tablets and e-readers the future of media?”

For George F. Colony, CEO of Forrester Research, the answer was simple: “Yes. These devices are the nexus of media.”

The question came from Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson, media editor of the Financial Times, who was moderator of a panel called “Tablets, E-Readers and the Future of Media.” He posed it to three panelists: Colony; John Ridding, CEO of the Financial Times; and Vivian Schiller, CEO of NPR.

While Colony’s response raised a few eyebrows, considering his audience was largely print-based media company executives and their financial sponsors, and considering that Forrester is one of the world’s best-respected technology forecasting firms, it got even more provocative from there.
