INFOGRAPHIC: The State Of Social Media 2012

It is now obvious that the social media has been embedded to the Internet. Any website that wants to be successful needs to be plugged into the social media and also try to provide a means to allow its users to be able to share the material. Last year 2012 saw a whole lot of development when it came to places like Facebook, Twitter and these could be attributed to the US election that took place where every picture, news and anything about the event was immediately sent into the net at a very fast speed.
