Six Shocking Stats

1) There are more mobile phones in the U.S. than TVs and computers combined.

2) foursquare – the popular “find me here” network - has added over 100,000 users in the last month and will soon reach a million; they are one year old.

3) Starbucks now lets people pay for coffee via their iPhone in over 1,000 Target locations where Starbucks has an outpost.

4) Research by Nielsen shows that global consumer usage of social media sites rose by 82% this past year.

5) The average time per person spent on Facebook and Twitter in December 2009 rose by 143%.

6) A report from Nielsen shows that 90% of consumers trust recommendations from people they know, while only 41% trust sponsored ads on Web pages.
