These are great stats! I had no idea that 80% of companies use Linkedin to recruit. That is amazing. I wonder if the work force knows that?
Never understood the fascination with FourSquare. There’s no way I want to tell everyone in the world my location!
Thanks for putting these facts together!

These are some pretty interesting stats!

Really makes you think!

Dewane,
That is one of the coolest facts that I found. Think about 10 Million people create more content the remaining 190 million people on Twitter. Mind-Boggling!
Google+ is a little to new right now.

Great post, Andy! These are some amazing facts about the world of social marketing. It still amazes me to think that if Facebook were its own country, it would be the third-largest in the world. It really is a world that is getting smaller in many ways.

Steve,
That is a great point! Just thinking about Facebook being it’s own country is remarkable.
