“A lot of these “facts” are classic examples of how to lie with statistics.”

“Brilliant collection of stats, the evidence seems to be compelling. Top sound track to so many thanks to you and Fat Boy Slim for an uplifting five minutes:)”

Had enough social media charts? Not so fast, this is the net–it won’t ever run out of those. Welcome to the Social Media Revolution. (Maybe after reviewing it this is why Ad Contrarian is calling it quits for now.) It’s ambitious factoids supposedly backed up by a ton of sources, but as with anything 2.0, there’s just too many ways to look at data like this and still sound right. Regardless, those two comments pretty much sum up the two opposing camps of this brief look at social networks and internet trends. It’s got a Web 2.0 proprietary name though: Socialnomics!

All I’m saying is, credit for not doing the enlarged rotating type thing.
