Overview of where we've come from, and where we're going... with an emphasis on social media usage in the USA and some key emerging global trends and behaviours.
25. Global trend
“…the younger a Facebook user is,
the more likely they are to be using
the service more than once a day.
Overall, perhaps the most impressive
metric is that just 9% of Facebook’s

weekly option. Compare that to sites
like Instagram and Twitter, where
about a quarter say this, and the
strength of Facebook is clear.”

"The challenge is not to get
the story published, but to
get the story into people’s
feeds — into their Twitter
timelines, into their inbox
and into their chat."
