These statistics from 2014 (looks like they are for the US) shows that marketers are increasingly taking social media seriously. Facebook continues to drive a lot of deserved attention – however Twitter is often underestimated given that the influence of Twitter reaches far beyond its 140 characters and the other Twitter users. For instance a majority of journalists monitor Twitter and increasingly their stories are being driven #byTwitter and many Twitter feeds are embedded into websites.
Hopefully these stats will help towards persuading the social media denialists its about time they looked again at social.
