En Octubre del pasado año publicamos 10 píldoras sobre la revolución de las redes sociales, basadas en ideas y datos que aparecen en el vídeo Social Media Revolution relacionado con el libro de Eric Qualman, Socialnomics. Social Media Revolution intentó responder a una pregunta: ¿son las redes sociales una moda, o el cambio más grande desde la revolución industrial?

Acaba de salir la actualización de ese fantástico video, Social Media Revolution 2. No hay conceptos ni novedades que me llamen especialmente la atención, sólo la sensación de que para hablar con fidelidad y rigor sobre lo que ocurre en la internet social hay que actualizar la información y repensar ideas casi cada mes.

Os dejo algunos datos que @gabycastellanos resaltó del video y que me resultaron más novedosos respecto al anterior, aunque se refieren especialmente a Estados Unidos.

1. El Social Media ha superado como “uso” principal a la Pornografia en Internet
2. El 80% de las compañias americana usan Social media para captacion de trabajadores (reclutamiento 2.0).
3. El segmento de mayor crecimiento en USA son mujeres de 55 a 65 años.
4. El 50% del trafico en UK desde moviles es hacia Facebook, imaginaros que pasaria si esos usuarios tuviesen una mala expriencia con vuestra marca y la contaran a sus amigos, inmediatamente.
5. Algunas Universidades ya no dan a sus estudiantes emails, sino eReaders, Ipads y Tablets.
6. Existen 200.000 blogs en el mundo generando opinion propia. Y el 34% de estos Bloggers hablan sobre marcas.
7. El 25% de los resultados que se muestran sobre las marcas pertenecen a contenidos de usuarios.
8. El 18% de las campañas en TV tienen un ROI positivo. El 90% de la spersonas se saltan la publicidad.

En todo caso parece claro que las redes sociales no son una moda, aunque aún muchas personas sigan vistiendo 1.0.

Tras el vídeo, os copipego en inglés todas las estadísticas que aparecen y que puedes leer en el blog Socialnomics. Si alguien quiere hacer la traducción y dejarla en un comentario la republicaré, citación y agradecimiento mediante, claro ;) Sí, ya sé que no se tarda demasiado, pero es que ando liadillo estos días, cachis…
