Key Points to Note/ Commentary
- Facebook sees another small rise this month. Facebook always does have a degree of new users signing up, so from time to time we see them adjust their stats to reflect this.
- Main secondary networks – LinkedIn, Twitter and Blogging platforms remains fairly steady for the month.
- Most other social networks remaining steady with small monthly movements.
- We are looking into retrieving additional data for Instagram’s standalone applications – Bolt and Hyperlapse.
- ‘First Gen’ social sites (rank 13+) see gradual decreases over time.
