Social Media has overtaken porn as the #1 one Internet activity & other interesting facts

Today’s FreeStyleFriday post asks the question:  How important is social media? Apparently very important – consider these facts:

  • Social Media has overtaken porn as the number one Internet activity
  • One out of eight couples who married in 2008 met via social media
  • Facebook has more than 400 million active users. 50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day
  • Twitter.com had 90.2 million unique visitors worldwide in May, up from 83.8 million in April and 37.3 million in May of last year.
  • Over 65 million Twitter posts are made each day

These numbers are taken from Does Social Media matter to law firms? Amazing Firms, Amazing Practices,  visited July 17, 2010 (http://bit.ly/9HDPaZ) and Pressroom, Facebook, visited July 26, 2010.

On this blog, I write about and try to answer practical Oklahoma legal questions. My focus and most experience is in estate planning and business issues including Oklahoma non-compete law. I make a living as an attorney in the law firm I founded, Shawn J. Roberts, P.C. in Oklahoma City. I live in Edmond with my wife Amy and my two children, Sam (19) and David (11). We live precisely in the path of where the "wind comes sweeping down the plains."
