High-Level Social Media Statistics
Posted June 29th, 2009 by Mike RynchekRecently I was asked by a client to pull together some high-level social media statistics. I found some interesting facts from several different sources. I thought I would share. These stats are of course changing by the moment but this is a pretty good snapshot of the social media environment.
