I was really interested to read about a new infographic that compiles social data from the Fortune 100 Global Company Index across the four major social platforms in Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Blogs. One of the most interesting statistics to come out of this chart is that 65% of the world’s top 100 companies have a Twitter account. Now that in its self might not be all that surprising, but in comparison to Facebook (54%), YouTube (50%) and Blogs (33%) that’s a serious number considering the length of time that Facebook, YouTube and Blogs have been around compared to Twitter.

On a percentage scale across all 4 social mediums, it’s interesting to note that already 20% of the world’s top 100 companies are using all four platforms together to engage their followers, fans and workers

I was reading the January, 22 2010 press release of comScore which reported a 46% growth in searches worldwide from 89 billion in 2008 to 131 billion in 2009. Google continues to lead the way with 58% growth from 55 billion searches in 2008 to 87 billion searches in 2009. However Microsoft reported a 70% growth, albeit off a small base, due to its introduction of Bing. My feeling is that 2010 should be an interesting year for Microsoft. It is obvious to me that the in 21st century marketing must be digitally focused or ones products and services will simply not be found.
