Fri, 23 Sep 2011 13:10:00 -0400

Thinking back to when I was a small child, I’ve always been visual.

One very clear recollection is from a dimly lit corner dive eating a grilled cheese and tomato soup with my mom. She would have lunch once a week with a few extremely wrinkled and bent over ladies from the neighborhood. As I was not a part of their conversation, I would kneel on my chair and draw the items that were in the center of the table on my placemat. (Using a linty, ball point pen dug out from the bottom of my mom’s purse.) You know the items: the breadstick basket, the salt/pepper shakers, the sugar caddy, etc.

I love to draw. I always have. I may not be good at it, but I don’t care. And, consequently, it has always been easier for me to explain my thoughts to my classmates, professors, co-workers, bosses, and clients through a doodle. Not art, not perfection, but a sketch. A doodle that is serving its purpose to get the pictures out of my head and in front of others.

“Sunni Brown makes the case for unlocking your brain via your pad and pen.” I enjoyed her updated definition of a doodle, and hope that the reps at Webster’s Dictionary really are listening. -Jeanine

If you still think social media is a fad, you may want to think again - especially if you are a business owner. Stats like these should be a pretty strong motivator to jump into social media, if you haven’t already:

Over 50% of world’s population is under 30-years-old; 96% of them have joined a social network
78% of consumers trust peer recommendations against 14% that trust in advertisements
Fastest growing segment on Facebook: 55-65 year old females

Check out these stats and the full infographic by One Lily.

A World Without Facebook Infographic

What would the week be without another fun, yet informative, infographic. SingleGrain just produced a great one with the latest Facebook stats. We won’t give away all of the details, because part of fun is seeing the graphic representation. Some of the highlights include:

Percentage of users by age, women vs. men
Countries with most users
Average amount of friends
Average user visit time
70% of local business use Facebook for Marketing

Check out the full infographic at SingleGrain!

We love those infographics! Sure, here in the US, it’s all about Facebook, but Ignite Social Media just completed a study of 54 social networks from around the world and shared a broad range of statistics, including:

Facebook is more popular with women
Men go more for Digg and Reddit
LinkedIn counts the “wealthiest” among its users
And, no surprise how many social networks are on the decline, including MySpace and Friendster

Above is just a fraction of the complete infographic, check out their blog post Social Networks 2011: Winners and Losers for the whole thing!

If you are interested in the stats (such as gender, age, income and education of specific social network site users), be sure to browse the detailed analysis on their original blog post, too.
