The web is becoming more and more connected, but this fascinating new infographic highlights just how social. With over 8.38 billion pages and 2.27 billion users and growing, the clear winners of the social war are Facebook and YouTube, followed by Twitter, Yahoo and Pinterest to a much lesser extent.
Social media users are taking over the internet and are more connected than ever and it seems to be a thing that isn’t going anywhere but up. Parents, children and more alike have adapted to the online media that has captured the thoughts of people all over the world and connected them to similar thinkers.
