Revisited: Econsultancy's Mind-blowing Social Media Statistics

Last March 2011, Econsultancy listed 20+ facts about leading social media platforms: Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and more. Can you roughly guess the statistics after a year? We’ll wait for Econsultancy’s post on the first quarter of 2012.

To us, the most impressive concerned Facebook, here are our favourites from their list:

2010: Facebook has 350 million active users on global basis.
2011: Facebook officially hit the half-billion member mark last year. According to figures from Socialbakers, there are now some 640m Facebook users worldwide.

2010: 50% of active users log into Facebook each day. This means at least 175m users every 24 hours.
2011: Still citing the 50% active rate, using the official 500m figure, this means at least 250m users every 24 hours. This is more than a 40% increase in 12 months.

2010: 65m users access Facebook through mobile-based devices.
2011: It may well be the year of mobile… for Facebook. Facebook users accessing the site through mobile devices now top 200m - an enormous 200% increase in around a twelve-month period.

Finally, on average each Facebook user creates 90 pieces of content each month.
