Why internet users and social media users will soon be the same thing

According to Internet World Stats, there are now 2.3 Billion Internet users on our planet. That’s approximately 33% of the world’s population. Growth over the last decade has been registered at 528%. The growth rate is only expected to increase during this decade.

With that in mind, consider these recent ComScore findings:

In October 2011, 1.2 billion users around the world visited social networking sites. Most notably, nearly 1 in every 5 online minutes is now spent in social networks.

Thankful and Re-Energized

Over the course of the last 14 months, I have enjoyed the privilege of working in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania on three separate occasions. While I can’t discuss the details of the work beyond what i have blogged in the past and what is on our CEPSM Facebook Page, I can say that I am absolutely astonished at the level of dedication, commitment and work ethic demonstrated by the Tanzanian team here on the ground.
