Social Networking has been around for some time now. The first sites were created as early as the 90's but since then, none of them have survived because the thing about those sites is that they get old just as quick as they become popular. Many big websites have been the giants in this industry for months or even years but the market changes quickly and so do the demands. Facebook has been probably the most popular social networking site in history and many say it will stay like this forever however if you look at the statistics, there are other websites that are taking away their customers. Their biggest competitor at the moment is Twitter and a lot people around the world actually switched from Facebook to Twitter in the recent time.
The amount that social networking has grown in the last decade is unbelievable. It is thanks to sites like Facebook, Twitter, myspace or Linkedin that social networking has spread so much. To prove this I researched some facts and found these figures:
- Total number of Facebook users worldwide 1.2 Billion
- Total percentage of 18-24 year olds
98%
who already use social media
- Total percentage of people on Earth 11%
who use Facebook
