Because of social
media,
1 in 4 people
around the world
are now
connected to
one another.
Which means.....
if the socially connected world were a country,
it would have a population
3x larger than the usa

And of that population,
1,000,000,000 of them use

Soon Facebook will launch internet.org’s
internet radio service to the most rural
places on earth. Using high altitude
drones Internet.org will relay internet all
over the globe, creating a truly connected
world.

As Twitter continues to grow, more people will leave traditional
news outlets. People will hear the news they want, on the sub-
jects they want, from who they want, when they want it.

Social Media is not only connecting us, but it is in many
ways also driving our economy. These are just a few of
the hundreds of social organizations around today,
with new ariving every year.

including me, a platform on which to
self brand yourself for your talents.
I personally use mine as a
photography portfolio and blog.

hand, companies all over the
world are reaping the
rewards, of a smaller world
than ever before.
