The shape of social media in the New Year

On Thursday, 12th January
Happy New Year to all you social media lovers.
As the clock of 2012 continues ticking, Social Media’s popularity is spreading quicker than the flu, and we’ve got the statistics to prove it. Although, we’d like to add that we don’t consider Social Media websites comparable to the flu in any other way than the rate at which it spreads. For one thing we choose to sign up to Facebook in our hoards, the same can’t be said for the flu!
An estimated 30.5 Million people in the United Kingdom use Facebook, with 51.6% of those being female and 48.4% male. That’s close to half of the population. The majority of users are between 13 and 54 years old and if you ask us here at Grape Digital, that is one hell of a target audience!
