1,000 Social Media Statistics Released

LONDON, June 15, 2011 -

- B2B Guide to Social Media Boasts Most
Comprehensive Collection of Social
Stats on the Web

The B2B Guide to
Social Media, a blog providing practical advice to
organisations in the B2B space on using social networks today
publishes its href="www.b2bsocialmediaguide.com/2011/06/15/we-now-have-1000-social-media-statistics/">
1000^th social media statistic.  The blog
started publishing statistics on social media usage, social gaming,
Twitter, LinkedIn, apps and others in March in an effort to provide
a single hub of reliable information on social media.

The B2B Guide’s editor, Heather Baker, comments: “Running href="www.toplinecomms.com/">B2B PR and social media
consultancy, TopLine Communications, meant we were regularly
looking for statistics and research on the subject. While there is
plenty of information on the web, it was never easy to find exactly
what you were after. We therefore decided to collect data on social
media and publish it ourselves. This has proved highly popular,
attracting thousands of visitors to the blog each month.  

“We designed the stats pages to be valuable to the business
community - we know that a statistic is only useful if it has
context - such as sources, date published and the region it relates
to, so this is all readily available on the site,” she
continues.

The social media statistics pages are updated every Friday with
the latest data published in the previous seven days. They cover
everything from when the first tweet was sent (March 2006) to the
number of new blogs created a day (120,000) and the amount of time
spent watching YouTube via Facebook each day (over 46 years).

Baker concludes: “Statistics are just one element of the B2B
Guide to Social Media. The blog also offers introductions to B2B
social networking, overviews of the main social networks used by
B2B organisations, B2B social media case studies and easy-to-follow
guides on developing a B2B social media strategy, creating
objectives and building a B2B social network. Our goal is for the
blog to become the definitive resource on B2B social media usage.”
