The exponential growth of the Internet is almost unfathomable. What’s even more amazing is the adoption of social media, check out the following stats – AMAZING!
- 60% of all web users visit at least one (1) social networking web site.
- On September 8, 2010, The Huffington Post published an article called: Why YouTube is the future of the written word.
- Users on Twitter grew 109% in June 2010.
- Facebook now has half a BILLION (with a B) users.
- Americans spend 25% of their online time on social networks.
- 33% of women (aged 18-34) check Facebook when they first wake up.
- Social Media/Networking adoption is up 230% since 2007.
- 30 Billion online videos watched in April 2010.
- Worldwide, social networking adoption is up 82% in 2010.

Gosh, if that wasn’t enough to fathom, think about the impact of all this online traffic of mobile devices, such as:
- Twitter saw 347% growth in mobile browser access in April 2010.
- Social Networking became more popular on mobile devices (vs. Desktop/Traditional computers) in February 2010.
- RIGHT NOW, Americans 18 & under send a text message every 10 minutes (when they are awake).
- Mobile app store downloads will hit 25 BILLION (with a B) by 2015 (if not sooner).

By now, your head is probably spinning (mine certainly is). So, let’s break it down.
What This Means For You:
- If you don’t have a decent website – please get one immediately. We’d love it if you hired AI Software, but either way, get online and/or get your online presence up-to-date. Excuse the language, but DON’T HALF-@$$ it. It’s likely the most important part of your marketing strategy.
- Stop considering Social Networking and DO IT! If you’re still considering, read the stats above. Social Networking is not a fad, it’s HERE TO STAY and will be a part of your marketing strategy (and will evolve) over the years. You can no longer ignore it. If your firm does not have the resources to tackle social media, then engage a firm like AI Software to help make this happen for you.
- Consider mobile browsing/apps. Ever heard of an Android, iPhone, iPad? These devices are real. It’s no longer PC vs. Mac. Your online marketing partner needs to be aware of the possibilities, implications and opportunities that we now have. Guess what? AI Software can help!
