Social Media is Not A Fad…

..it’s a fundamental shift in the way we communicate. So true. I think this video explains a lot about how much Social Media has made an impact in today’s society. This video, created by Erik Qualman features some interesting statistics about social media.

I can relate with the following statistic (in about 6 months, that is) – “1 out of 8 couples married in the U.S. last year met via social media.”

Another one that I found interesting – “If you were paid a $1 for every time an article was posted on Wikipedia you would earn $156.23 per hour.”

I also agree that more people take into account user reviews over advertisements.

There are a lot more in this video below and I think the video was created in a very clever way.
