Social media figures, facts and numbers are a moving feast of metrics that will make your head spin.


The figures are substantial and what is obvious is where and often we access our social networks of choice, that the progression of mobile platforms is influencing how.



Facebook's big drive since going public last year was to increase its mobile advertising. It has attained that target with 41% of its sales now coming from mobile. Google is lagging in this space and it is in catchup mode. Twitter continues to grow as it looks to float in the next 12 months.

Twitter has been rushing to monetize its platform and now has self service promotion which is accelerating its sales.

It truly is predicted that in 2014 it will accomplish $1 billion in advertising income.

So here are some social media numbers to chew on.

1. Facebook

There now are over over 1.15 billion active Facebook users. This is a 21 percent increase in 12 months. That's the primary fact you should understand. Facebook is still the social networking network of choice and its own numbers are huge no matter where you appear.

2. Google

Google is now the second biggest network during the last 6 months and continues to grow rapidly. It seems to have reached a tipping point and people are interested in how to use it. Why do I think that? Any site posts about Google that I have published in the past few months receive considerably more traffic than Facebook articles.

The latest statistics indicate that there are 343 million active monthly users.

3. Twitter

Twitter is a platform that's bridging the mass media and social media difference. Tv is using the social network to get feedback an comments. It's power is based on its simplicity and real time feed.

The latest numbers on Twitter indicate that it has has over 288 million monthly active users. This is according to GlobalWebIndex Study

The number registered now sits at over 500 million. Consequently there are many enrolling but not inhaling. Here are a few more Twitter figures.

It has now gotten to 130 million end users.


7. Pinterest

Pinterest seized many people's thoughts soon after it released. The on-line "pinboard" social media platform has had significant effect on web design (even seeming to have influenced the new Google design)

It now sits at 70 Million users.

Here are a few other Pinterest facts

8. Vine

When Instagram launched the video attribute for Instagram there were many pundits predicting the demise of Vine (Twitter's new 6 second looping video social network).

Twitter has just announced (with a tweet)that it had 40 million users. That is substantial increase considering it was only launched in January, 2013.

In June it only had a user base of 13 million. That is a growth of 27 million in just under 3 months! No wonder Twitter is really a proud parent. Here are some more Vine facts and figures.

9. Tumblr

Tumblr was purchased by Yahoo this past year since it had broken into the top 10 sites in america and its audience was young tech and savvy. It is an easy to use blogging platform which is both visual and mobile. There are some figures demonstrating that is shrinking after being purchased by Yahoo.

At present it has 245 million monthly unique visitors in accordance with Qantcast.

10. Foursquare

Foursquare has been with us for a little while now after being established in 2009. It's attraction is that it is a mobile media channel.

Number of users now sits at Thirty Million.
