Social Media Resources & e-learning

   How teens use the internet, mobile phones, social media and social networking sites, as well as teencommunication preferences and online information consumption.

   More than 75 percent of teens are on social-media sites, with 93 percent of them on Facebook, according to the Pew Internet study that examined the behavior of teens online: http://slidesha.re/PSsGbU

   The study shows that teens turn to text messaging for communication instead of writing e-mails. 6 percent of teens use e-mail daily, while 39 percent say they never use e-mail. In contrast, 63 percent of teens text everyday, with some teens texting up to 100 messages a day.

From The Orginal Articel: "Search and social are merging, and it is clear that Google and Facebook both hope to claim this new territory.

 

In the world of search engine optimization, 2012 has been full of talk about the blurring line between search and social.

 

With Big Brother Google unleashing Panda and Penguin to keep black hats in check, the industry has been forced to take a more holistic approach to SEO.

 

Google’s acolytes are now paying attention to other players in the space, and Facebook is suddenly alone in the spotlight.

 

A Facebook social search engine, which is becoming more of a reality every day, would completely change the way we approach search.

 

As an SEO specialist at The Search Agency, I’ve been closely monitoring this paradigm shift away from indexing billions of pages.

Google+ has now been with us for one year.

It almost seems like it was just yesterday when it was announced.
Part of me said “not another social network” while the other curious Jeff thought “this could be what we need to keep Facebook honest”

12 months later it appears that it is now the third largest social network in the English speaking world behind Twitter and of course Facebook.

What a lot of people don’t realize as cocooned westerners is that we don’t have a monopoly on successful social networks with Sina Weibo in China having over 300 million users with over 100 million messages being posted every day.

It does appear though that it is now possible that Google+ will be knocking on Facebook’s door within a couple years.
