๐ Facebook Inc. Dominates the Social Media Landscape
When people think of #Facebook as a company, they mostly think of it synonymously with Facebook the social network. However, Facebook Inc. is much more than that, as todayโs chart nicely illustrates. With #WhatsApp, #Instagram and of course the namesake Facebook and #FacebookMessenger, the company owns four of the worldโs largest social media / messaging services.
Facebook alone is used by more than 2 billion people per month and both WhatsApp and Messenger also have surpassed the billion user mark, according to company data aggregated by DataReportal. #Tencent, the Chinese company behind #WeChat, Qzone and messenger QQ also boasts more than two billion users in total, but it still doesnโt come close to matching Facebookโs global footprint.

โโ๐ U.S. users spend more than $23 million in TikTok since launch
You canโt read tech news for more than a day or two before you come across an article mentioning #TikTok, the newest massive social media network in the world. Its parent company Bytedance acquired musical.ly last year which led to TikTokโs US launch on August 2nd, 2018. Since then, American users have spent $23.1 million on coins and other virtual goods for the TikTok economy.
Since launching in the United States, the market is responsible for 24% of its in-app purchase revenue. This excludes third party app stores found in China ๐จ๐ณ.
Looking at current U.S. demographics, we see TikTok reigns supreme in its ability to attract a younger crowd. Almost 50% of its US ๐บ๐ธ active users are aged 20 or younger. #Facebook has always skewed older than the newer social apps, but what stands out most is that it shows a slight edge against #Lasso. Facebook created Lasso to be a direct competitor to TikTok, and while it's early, there's room for improvement.

#Instagram is known mainly for stylish selfies and #FOMO-inducing travel pictures. Could the photo-sharing service also be used to track the spread of a pandemic? As governments and health-care providers around the world seek out suspected carriers of the new #coronavirus, the popular social networkโwhich people use to share pictures and videos of places they visit, and more generally to socialiseโcould prove valuable for tracing the path of the virus.

๐ TikTok is Making a Splash with the Youth
#Instagram use among younger Americans has been increasing over the past few years, with nearly 7 in 10 (68%) Americans between the ages of 12 and 34 now reporting that they use the popular app. But, while Instagram leads in usage with this age group, the most recent Infinite Dial Report released by Edison Research and Triton Digital reveals that #TikTok is also making a splash with youth.
New to the report this year, TikTok has done well in brand awareness, with nearly two-thirds (64%) of the more than 1,500 Americans (ages 12+) surveyed saying they are aware of the social media app. That said, only 11% are using the platform. And, although this pales in comparison to the usage of more established social media platforms like #Facebook (63%), Instagram (41%) and #Snapchat (31%), TikTok adoption has grown quickly since its release in the US in late 2017.

โโ๐ Worldโs 10 Most Valuable Brands in 2020
For the eighth year running, #Apple is at the top of the list of most valuable brands in the world, keeping its lead over top companies like #Amazon, #Microsoft and #Google, according to Interbrandโs latest annual rankings. Although there has been some shifting around in positions, all of the brands in the top 10 last year remained there this year.
Of the 43% of brands that benefited from a lift in value this year, #Amazon (60%) and #Microsoft (53%) were the fastest risers. #Spotify also had a significant increase, up 52% to $8.4 billion (#70).
Other fast-risers this year include:
- #Netflix: +41% to $12.7 billion (#41);
- #Adobe: +41% to $18.2 billion (#27);
- #PayPal: +38% to $10.5 billion (#60);
- #Apple: +38% to $323 billion (#1); and
- #Salesforce: +34% to $10.8 billion (#58).
This year, five brands dropped off the top 100 list, making room for five new entrants. One of those new entrants is #Instagram, which makes its debut to the list at #19 with a brand value of $26.1 billion. #YouTube (#30) joins Instagram on the list of new entrants with a brand value of $17.3 billion. Both of these brands are also favorites among social media marketers.

- #Zoom (#100; $4.5 billion)

โโ๐ News Use Across Social Media Platforms in 2020
As #SocialMedia companies struggle to deal with misleading information on their platforms about the #USElection, the #COVID19 pandemic and more, a large portion of Americans continue to rely on these sites for news. About half of US adults (53%) say they get news from social media โoftenโ or โsometimes,โ and this use is spread out across a number of different sites, according to a Pew Research Center survey.
Among 11 social media sites asked about as a regular source of news, #Facebook sits at the top, with about a third (36%) of Americans getting news there regularly. #YouTube comes next, with 23% of US adults regularly getting news there. #Twitter serves as a regular news source for 15% of US adults.
Other social media sites are less likely to be regular news sources. About one-in-ten Americans or fewer report regularly getting news on #Instagram (11%), #Reddit (6%), #Snapchat (4%), #LinkedIn (4%), #TikTok (3%), #WhatsApp (3%), #Tumblr (1%) and #Twitch (1%).
These lower percentages for news use are in some cases related to the fact that fewer Americans report using them at all, compared with the shares who use Facebook and YouTube.

Social Platforms: they all look the same now
The fact that all #SocialMedia platforms are starting to look the same points at the idea of some platforms are just features unless they evolve.
For example, #Snapchat had to evolve from being a platform for โStoriesโ to a camera/AR platform, otherwise, it had no chance against #Facebook & #Instagram Stories attack.
Now, #Clubhouse has the same problem. It has turned into a feature that other platforms are just adding to their products โ yes, you can call it copying too.
