'Facebook' Floods Search Bars, Tops List

From the Article:

A research on top-10 searched terms by volume has rated ‘facebook’ as number one in the ‘net communities and chat’ category, indicating the brand recall that Facebook enjoys globally and how it has reached a massive audience since its general availability in December 2008.

Looking at usage inside the countries that make up Facebook’s user base, the top contributors are the US, the UK and Turkey. Interestingly enough, countries such as Iceland and Norway have 40 per cent of their population on Facebook, with Canada being among the larger countries with roughly 34 per cent of its population actively using the social networking site.

Facebook currently has more than 250 million active users, and more than 120 million people log on to it at least once every day. That apart, worldwide, while over five billion minutes are spent on Facebook each day, more than 1 billion photos are uploaded to the site each month.

Youtube, which stood third in the survey with 3.89 per cent of search volume, has a user base comprising netizens in the age group of 18-55, evenly divided between men and women, spanning all geographies. Around 51 per cent of its users go to YouTube weekly or more often, and 52 per cent of 18-34-year-olds share videos often with friends and colleagues. In fact, every minute, 10 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube.

Note:

The situation, however, is different in India. In terms of visit summary for August 2009, Orkut leads in India with 14.4 million unique visitors and has 2,713 million monthly page views, according to a study done by Vizisense — an online audience measurement and analytics platform. After Orkut, it is Youtube that has maximum Indians. With monthly visits of 68 million, Youtube has 10.5 million unique users from India.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
