Social Media Traffic
These numbers were just released showing the percentage of overall traffic per social media site:
- Facebook – 41%
- MySpace – 24%
- Gmail – 15%
- Twitter – 8%
My guess is that Facebook, Gmail, & Twitter’s share is rising while MySpace’s share is falling.
Another interesting trend is that Facebook is used as an email client. I was talking to my wife about Facebook the other day and she does most of her emailing with friends through Facebook. Think about it, you choose who can send you messages, so you automatically cut down on a lot of unwanted emails and wasted time by using Facebook as an email client.
Keep this in mind as you consider marketing initiatives for your company. The trend may be moving away from email and towards email clients where the user can control who can & can’t email you. They must trust you.
