Are you suffering from Twitter <\/em>fatigue?\u00a0 In short: are you making money with your social media applications? Would you like to learn how? According to Nielsen \u201cthree of the world\u2019s most popular brands online are social-media related (Facebook, YouTube and Wikipedia<\/em>) and the world now spends over 110 billion minutes on social networks and blog sites. This equates to 22 percent of all time online or one in every four and half minutes. For the first time ever, social network or blog sites are visited by three quarters of global consumers who go online, after the numbers of people visiting these sites increased by 24% over last year. The average visitor spends 66% more time on these sites than a year ago, almost 6 hours in April 2010 versus 3 hours, 31 minutes last year.\u201d<\/p>\n
