I recently looked at Social Media Sharing Trends 2009 the conclusions were rather interesting:
- The top channels of sharing include, email, instant messenger, social networking sites
- Email and IM continue to be the most popular mediums of sharing
- Facebook rules the sharing in the social networking channel
- Twitter is growing in popularity but is still just 5% among social networks.
- Only 2% of shares happen over Bookmarking sites.
- In the Email channel, Yahoo Mail is the most preferred, followed by MSN.
- Google’s services like Google Bookmarking, Google Talk, and Gmail, are lagging in their respective channels when it comes to shared content
- LinkedIn, as a networking site, ranks the lowest when it comes to social media
