Facebook Stays at the Top!
According to eBizMBA the top 5 most popular social media sites are Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google+ as of February 1 2015. Why are these
sites the most popular? What do they do to get there and how do they stay at the
top?
Facebook is at number one on the top 5 social media sites. Almost everyone you
know has or has had a Facebook profile. Facebook is easy to use and allows
people to play games, interact with one another and allows businesses to advertise.
Facebook has a staggering 900,000,000 estimated monthly users! What’s even more
impressive is there are over 1.23 billion users’ itself! Even ABC posted an
article about Facebook and its upcoming birthday! Why would a huge news station
write an article on Facebook? This is because everyone knows what Facebook is.
It is so well marketed very easy to use. When a news station has something that
everyone is familiar with people tend to listen a little more... at least
that's how I feel.
While all of this is great Facebook can be very dangerous as well.
Facebook has over 600,000 hacking attempts daily! Which may not be for
the reasons that you may be thinking of but it does happen? People will hack
into profiles to post things on their walls to spread the word about a website
or even just to spread a virus. Statistics show that the average Facebook user
spends over 40 minutes a day on the site. Users who have the app would check
their Facebook on average of 14 times a day. What makes people want to spend so
much time on Facebook? What makes the brain think to check Facebook up to 14
times a day or 40 minutes a day? Facebook is addicting, I can say so
myself. Although its fun to see what your friends are up too and to see what
awesome or funny things they have posted have you ever noticed the advertising
that will pop up here and there as you scroll through? Facebook actually tracks
and "looks" at the sites that you go on to see what would be the best
advertisement that would fit you. Believe it or not Facebook will even log what
you are looking at once you logged out.
Even after all good and the bad things that can happen with Facebook, I love
it! I would recommend it to anyone. The reasons I would recommend Facebook are,
connectivity is seamless, interaction is quick and easy with friends and
strangers alike, and the last reason why I would recommend Facebook is because
of the vast majority of information being distributed daily . More than likely
you as a reader have a Facebook yourself, with that said think about how much
you enjoy it or dislike it and if you would recommend it to a friend.
Please feel free to investigate the sites I used.
