The subject of the video is Social Media by Dr. David Kreps (May 2016).
The presentation is very good and it focus on the social media, it is good to know the following facts: 1. Facebook has 1.5 billion active users per month. 2. YouTube has over a billion users per day. 3. Twitter has 1 billion registered users in which 100 million tweeters per day. 4. Flicker has 11 billion photos.
In 10 years period the usage of the internet increased from 1996 (45 million users) to 2006 (1 billion users).
In June 2017, internet users become 3.89 billion from 7.52 billion world population around 51.68% (Internetworldstats.com, 2017).
The instructor gave more statistics data (7:06) about the social internet revolution which all shows the trends of using the internet and smart phones are increasing over the period.
Some example about companies using social media creatively, like Dell, Blendtec, Toyota and others.
Using blogs as a tool of communications between customers and employees. It is very important to know that one message on social media will be distributed across other social media channels (blogs, you tube, twitter, and Facebook) which allow to be viewed with many people which they will share with many other people.
The most interesting information to me is the versions of web: Web 1.0 vs. Web 2.0 vs. Web 3.0 and how the progress over the period.
