Comparing Social Networks

Considering the vast number of social media outlets that are available today, I thought it would be good to find an infographic that puts them side-by-side to compare and contrast – and this one by Leverage does a great job.

Analyzing social media networks is important for business owners, because when it comes to social media, there are so many options to choose from – and they might not all be the right fit for your business. When you learn about the unique offerings of each one you can make an informed decision that is best for you.

Here are some of the highlights from the infographic:

Pinterest
– 20 million active users (70 million total users)
– Largest opportunities are in decor, crafts/DIY, cooking, health, and fashion
– Users are 17% male and 83% female

Twitter
– 241 million active users (over 600 million total users)
– Largest penetration in the US but spreading slowly and steadily
– 5,700 tweets happen every second

Facebook
– Over 1 billion users worldwide
– Users share 1 million links every 20 minutes
