Worlds Most Popular Social Networks https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-social-networks-worldwide-by-users/ The World’s Most Popular Social Networks, and Who Owns Them
Currently, there are over 4.5 billion people around the world who use some form of social media—about 57% of the global population.
Yet, while social media’s audience is widespread and diverse, just a handful of companies control a majority of the world’s most popular social media platforms. Meta, the tech giant formerly known as Facebook, owns four of the five most widely used platforms.
This graphic highlights the biggest social networks across the globe, measured by their monthly active users (MAUs).

5 Steps to Creating a Powerful Infographic http://blog.slideshare.net/2013/12/16/5-steps-to-creating-a-powerful-infographic/ 5 Steps to Creating a Powerful Infographic
People love infographics, and the statistics prove it: In the past five years, Google searches for “infographics” have increased 25X. Sharing an infographic can improve website traffic by 12%.
Some analysts even claim that 100% of businesses can benefit from sharing an infographic.
But you can’t just slap together an infographic and expect success. To be successful, an infographic needs resonant content and great design.
Here are 5 tips for creating an effective infographic:
10 Reasons Information Visualisation Rocks http://blog.mindjet.com/2013/07/visualisation-rocks/ 10 Reasons Information Visualisation Rocks "Here at Mindjet, we think visualising information rocks — but more importantly, there’s a whole load of scientific proof as to why people find it so much easier to digest and work with information that’s displayed visually, rather than in traditional formats such as documents and spreadsheets.

Drawing Dynamic Visualizations http://vimeo.com/66085662 Throughout the history of science, diagrams and graphs have been essential thinking tools. In the past, such visualizations were drawn with pen on paper, and could embrace the directness, freedom, and expressiveness of hand drawing. Most modern visualizations are programmed instead, where a single description can dynamically generate a unique picture for any dataset.

How to Create Stunning Infographics in 30 Mins https://bit.ly/VronkB How to Create Stunning Infographics in 30 Minutes or Less
From word clouds to network data visualizations, infographics have become a primary format for content in a relatively short period of time. Although the ‘infographic’ is nothing new, its proliferation and evolution has been nothing short of exponential in the past few years.
It just so happens that there are many people out there who want to deliver a message using an infographic who do not have any artistic skills. It’s lucky for us that tools and resources have popped up all over the place to help even the most hopeless of us (like me) create beautiful infographics.
