Social Media Statistics

What social networks have the most active users?

Who uses each of the different social networks, and why?

When are the best times to share content or reach your audience?

The Internet has changed the way we consume information, and interact with people and brands online.

From the old days of dialing into a Bulletin Board Service (BBS), to accessing America Online or Prodigy, using our computers (and now tablets and mobile devices) to access information online has expanded the social web, and brought us face-to-face with people in ways that were not possible 20 or 30 years ago.

We define "Social Media" as any interactive tool that allows people to create and share information through online networks or communities. That information can take any form, and be written text, an image, a photo, audio or video. Social media also implies that there is some interaction between a producer or sharer of information, and a consumer of that information.

As you would expect, that means social media and their corresponding social networks covers a wide number of companies and platforms. For our purposes, we will track most of the popular social media websites, and as time goes on, we will add new, emerging portals and networks. Much will depending on the data that is available. To start, we are interested in tracking: Facebook, Gab, Instagram, WhatsApp, Tumblr, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Baidu Tieba, Google+, YouTube, Viber, Snapchat, Weibo and WeChat.

In our evolving social media statistics dashboard, we are collecting data from social networks and third-party data providers to capture some of the most important and actionable social media statistics available.

Our goal is to share how people, governments and businesses use social networks / social media to interact online. Who is using which platform? Why? And what does effective use of social media look like?

Which social network / platform has the most active users?

The Coast Guard also follows three private accounts, which do not appear to have any direct connection to the service itself: Kevin Alvarez, Pretty Fly for a White Guy, and Ellie.

The Coast Guard does not receive as many “likes” or “views” for its posts compared to the other service branches, but they do post a significant amount of content on a weekly basis. A high volume post for the Coast Guard will generate over 2,000 “likes” or “views.”

What Types Of Images Perform Well

The Navy has done some exciting things with its video production. Placing a camera on the hull of the USS San Francisco to capture its 1,000th dive was very cool. Likewise, the video production showcasing the ships made from the 9/11 sites is very moving. The Navy also uses images of its fleet in movement or engaged in training operations. The picture of a ship experiencing “shock trials” to test its durability is quite gripping.
