If you're a frequent reader of Mashable, you know we love stats. Just this week we've shared data about social media's reach with marketers, the huge growth of online video, and the relative banality of tweets.
However, a new video put together by Erik Qualman takes our obsession with stats to another level. The online marketer and author of the upcoming book Socialnomics has put together a fantastic video comprised of more than 30 different stats about the growth of social media.
While we're familiar with some of the stats (he even cites some of our reports in the video), there were a bunch of new and intriguing ones, including:
1 out of 8 couples married in the U.S. last year met via social media
If you were paid a $1 for every time an article was posted on Wikipedia you would earn $156.23 per hour
25% of search results for the World's Top 20 largest brands are links to user-generated content
Qualman's full video is embedded below, and you can read all the stats (and links to their respective sources) on his blog.
