Social Media

  1. In 2020, the top three most used social media sites are Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Each month, there are about 2.6 billion users on Facebook, 1 billion on Instagram, and 330 million on Twitter. https://influencermarketinghub.com/social-media-sites/
  2. Facebook includes all kinds of content for users to post and interact with. Users can post pictures, videos, messages, share links and other posts, and interact with friends. Companies can also make a business page to expand and build their brand. Facebook is probably the best social media site for interacting with others online. Instagram is similar to facebook but with less features. You can post pictures, videos, and post content to your story. Twitter is mainly just message posts. Pictures and videos can be posted too, but the majority of the content is text. All three sites are different but have similar features. They can all be used to interact with others and provide entertainment.
  3. According to Google, demographics is ”statistical data relating to the population and particular groups within it.” It’s the basic information about a person. Examples would be age, gender, marital status, occupation, etc. Social media uses it to inform themselves about their audience and the statistics. https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk02ifZLgMA-9g0O-LJPxplVewBlFVw%3A1600992076767&ei=TDNtX6uqLsq4tQaC1YXQAw&q=demographics&oq=demographics&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIECAAQRzIECAAQRzIECAAQRzIECAAQRzIECAAQRzIECAAQRzIECAAQRzIECAAQR1CTE1iTE2CRFWgAcAF4AIABAIgBAJIBAJgBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXrIAQjAAQE&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwirgJiggIPsAhVKXM0KHYJqAToQ4dUDCA0&uact=5
  4. Here are a few examples of demographics of the three most used social media sites: The country that uses Facebook the most is India and second is the United States. Instagram’s most popular age group is 13-17 year olds. Twitter is being used more by males than females. https://sproutsocial.com/insights/new-social-media-demographics/#IG-demos
  5. As the most popular social media site, Facebook is used for about 58 minutes a day for an average user. People spend about 53 minutes on Instagram and only one minute on Twitter each day, which is surprising since it’s the third most used social media site. https://www.broadbandsearch.net/blog/average-daily-time-on-social-media#post-navigation-3
  6. Out of the three biggest social media sites, Instagram is growing the fastest. This doesn’t surprise me. I think it keeps becoming more and more popular because they keep adding features that makes the app more enjoyable. When they first added Instagram stories, people didn’t like it very much because they thought Instagram was copying Snapchat. Except now, more people that I follow use Instagram stories more than Snapchat stories. I also think it’s growing fastest because it’s more popular among the younger generations who are the ones using social media the most. https://www.x-cart.com/social-media/statistics.html#:~:text=Over%20the%20last%20few%20years%2C%20Instagram%20has%20evolved%20from%20a,Instagram%20stats%20to%20prove%20it
  7. The majority of users access social media using a mobile device. Mobile devices allow easy access to these sites anytime, anywhere (when there’s service, of course). https://www.statista.com/statistics/184318/daily-social-media-activities-of-us-adults-device/
