ITCS Industry Facts

Listen to how the man who created the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee put it..

"The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect — to help people work together — and not as a technical toy.

The ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world.

We clump into families, associations, and companies. We develop trust across the miles and distrust around the corner."

—Tim Berners-Lee, Weaving The Web

Isn't that quite an amazing statement, especially as the big winners on the web; Yahoo, Google, Facebook, you tube, Twitter etc. have ended up as big winners and they are all predominantly social?

Twitter in the USA; According to Neil Patel, 40% of Twitter users are based in the Eastern Standard time of the US.

Another interesting fact is that 6 % of re-tweets happen during the 5PM period also in the EST Zone.

And if you want to get more specific, did you know that tweets that occur on Wednesday get the most visibility? Neil Patel also reported that out of 30 million tweets analyzed, some the most popular keywords are: you, twitter, please, retweet, post, social, free ( always big one on the web) media, help, please retweet and great. I am sure that most would not want make these key words.

The words that were used least on twitter; game, going, haha, lol, but, watching, work, home, night, bed, well, sleep, gonna and hey.
