Social Media Growth

I am a super fan of social media. I love being connected with people and getting up to date information quickly. Even if you are not an avid user of social media like me, you can't ignore the rapid growth.

Search Engine Journal recently produced a serious of infographics to show that social media is not "over-hyped" but is a rapidly growing industry. A couple of the infographics that resonated with me were (click on the graphs to enlarge them):

How do you personally use social media? How does your company use social media?
