Surprisng Social Media Stats

02/28/14 | blogging

I work in social media for my 9-5 job.  Not those hours, but you know what I mean, and then I am all over social within blog land.  I received quite a few emails last week after I posted this photo asking me to write about my tips and advice.  I would love to oblige but Sparkles and Shoes is a fashion and lifestyle blog, not a tips and tricks about digital,  so none of that funny business here but I will share something on the subject. You think someone who is this entranced in socail would know all of the basic facts and statistics but I have recently been surprised by a few, take a look:
Most Popular Social Network  
900,000,000 – Estimated Unique Monthly Visitors



Most Popular Instagram Hashtag
 #love 460,635,453 photos 



Country with the Highest Percentage of Tweeters
Saudi Arabia    Over 32% are active users 



Demographic on Pinterest 
Who runs the world? GIRLS!    80% Female



Most Popular Google+ Account
Lady Gaga        8,401,583 have her in circles

Most Viewed YouTube Video Ever  
 “Gangnam Style” by PSY    1,915,156,692 views



Largest Number of Twitter Followers

Most Popular Facebook Brand  
Coca-Cola   79,796,054 fans over 20% of whom are from Brazil!



So there you have it, eight interesting social media facts!


I really do promise, I did not make these up!

    Coke is the second most understood word in the world behind ‘hi’. Definitely some interesting statistics, and I love that #love is shared so much 😉

    These are pretty interesting. I was pretty surprised by the most viewed youtube vid! Social media is part of my “9-5” as well, so between that and blogland social media, it’s sometimes an overload!
