Twitter Statistics 2012

We all know Twitter, most of us related with design, advertising, media etc probably have twitter accounts. But how many of us realise what a phenomenon it really is?

Twitter originated only 6 years ago in a brainstorm session and was originally titled twttr inspired by Flickr.

“…we came across the word ‘twitter’, and it was just perfect. The definition was ‘a short burst of inconsequential information,’ and ‘chirps from birds’. And that’s exactly what the product was.” – Jack Dorsey

Work on the project started on March 21, 2006, when Dorsey published the first Twitter message at 9:50 PM. In 6 short years there are now 175 million tweets a day!

There’s even more, the full glorious info graphic is at infographiclabs.com for your visual delight.

The Geosocial Universe infographic

A very nice infographic to start the week off!

I have discussed the rise of mobile platforms before on this blog (A mobile future) and this infographic takes a look at all the major digital networks and their current mobile user base. View more from JESS3 the original creators.

I have been researching mobile platform penetration for a couple of projects and pitches I have recently been working on. This also forms part of a series of future thought pieces I am creating concerning the development of the online experience that is evolving beyond the notion of a web site or single destination to include multiple touchpoints.

Here’s a couple of interesting points I have recently found:
• According to eMarketer the tablet market will grow 400% by 2012
• Mobile internet devices out sold computers in 2009 by 144 million units*
• It is predicted by 2012 more smartphones will be shipped than PC’s
• There are around 650 million 3G/3.5G subscribers worldwide**
• By 2013, people using their mobile device to search the Internet will overtake desktop Internet users for the first time

What does this mean?

Well, as consumers continue to expand their media consumption across a variety of devices and platforms marketers and advertisers will need to rethink measurement approaches and marketing strategies in order to engage with different audiences and deliver on their needs and behaviours.

iPad tablet statistics. Looking back over 12 months.

Continuing this weeks theme of interesting info graphics, here are some revealing numbers for Apple’s iPad looking back over the past 12 months. An incredible sales prediction for 2014 if you take into consideration every other major manufacturer will have a tablet in the marketplace.

Found this nice little infographic on Digital Buzz Blog while having lunch today. Quite astounding that 1 in 11 people on the planet are now on Facebook! The figures are incredible when you think about them, nearly 8 new accounts are registered every second!

I wouldn’t even like to think how much the server and network system costs to keep going each month.

The infographic was originally crated by SocialBakers.

Ok so I am obviously like a moth to the flame with info graphics but Francesco Franchi’s work is far too nice not to share with everyone. An Art Director for ‘IL — Intelligence in Lifestyle’ he has amassed a pretty nice body of work.

Lovely Flickr photostream, I like the fact that he has taken the time to photograph his work properly, nice attention to detail.

Since the David McCandless post on data visualisation I have been doing tons of research into info graphics and how to turn complex data into rich, clear and easy to understand visuals. I stumbled upon the portfolio of Nicholas Felton who’s work is really very nice, especially his annual reports.
