Statistics of the most important social networks on the Internet

Although in many cases it depends on age and in others, what we really want or our intentions to understand the communication about social platforms and apps, yes it is true that there are a series of most used user communities that are noted for being ambiguous in their intentions and therefore more socially democratic.

From Weare Social, practically every month they launch a report of the latest statistics that can be consulted from HERE. According to the latest global report published in 2022, we would have:

What is the true history of social media

Although we could be writing a thousand pages of the origin and history of social mediaWe want to show the "authentic" ones from a different and more than understandable perspective.

Here, an artistic intervention comes into play in a small town in Italy where the technological advance and network coverage is minimal or does not exist depending on the location of the house or the mobile that we may have. Civitacampomarano, located in the province of Campobasso (Italy), was involved with the CVTA Fest project.

Above, the almighty app ofWhatsApp and below the most popular wisdom from Wikipedia.

Among many other instant messaging applications available on the market, there is a cross-platform messaging application called Telegram - which is USP (Unique Selling Proposition) which stands for "privacy"! Telegram's own motto says: »Recover our right to privacy. Telegram is currently the # 1 social media app on the App Store in 46 countries… way ahead of Facebook, Viber and even WhatsApp!

The project will explore the origin of true social networks from the social perspective and outside the technology or Internet access since it started with the famous Web 0.0.

Web 0.0. Until the beginning of the 90's. It was characterized by the difficulty of doing basic operations and with extreme slowness in the connection.
Web 1.0. A time that was marked by the massive popularization of browsers and mail. Where the user was a passive receiver where his intervention was reduced mainly to simple participation in discussion forums and receiving or sending emails.
Web 2.0. The first years of the 21st century where users stop being passive and become content designers through Blogs and the appearance of mass user platforms Y virtual networks; MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Flirckr, Instagram, Twitter … etc.
Web 3.0. Although no one is clear about what the future will be, it is true that its intelligence is increasing with machine learning that already scares many.

The idea of the project is to show the applications as common as Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, YouTube, WhatsApp or the new TinderAmong others, such as real communication interactions between natural persons that have always existed in the habits of the population of this small Italian town.

The activist idea is to show that the virtual functions of these most used social networks, considered by the vast majority of the population as essential and necessary for daily life, they also exist where connection is difficult to reach. It's the internet of real life! … We leave the video of the idea.

Why Virtual Communities and Sustainability Should Go Together

Over the last decade, we have seen that virtual communities with thesocial media and the sustainability they play an increasingly essential role in how companies present themselves to the world and talk about themselves.

With more successes or less and with more obligations or less, together they have helped to push new levels of transparency, forcing companies to rethink their role in society and what benefits they bring at all levels, from the individual on the street to the climate change to highlight two points.

A study carried out by the Pew Research Center found that the majority of Twitter users (63%), and Facebook users (63%) use these networks as platforms to find out about news and important events outside the sphere of friends or family. family. A trend in substantial increase if we look at the numbers since 2013… 52% of Twitter users, 47% of Facebook users.

Comparing with the number of users, we can see that they have taken the lead very quickly over conventional information platforms. If sustainability messages seek to reach a wider audience, it is logical that those messages are communicated through the preferred channels of users on the Internet.

Although it seems easy to transmit an idea, a project … etc for the benefit of society and sustainability, unfortunately, the competition is fierce if not impressive. On Facebook alone, an average of 31.25 million messages are sent every minute and that is just a social network.

Making sustainability messages stand out in such an impressive and vast ocean of noise means doing more than just posting links to a PDF report on the latest 'X' statistics.

An example is the Seven Days of Garbage campaign (More information here). The objective, to understand that the protection of the Earth is a necessity.Be photographed with “7 Days of Garbage” trying to get people from different social origins to take a photo with their weekly load of garbage to realize how much waste we produce.

Many communication options, but undeniably the best «weapon» will be the power of imagination and originality to stand out if we want to change the world for the better from the virtual communities!
