How Amazon Became the World's Largest Online Retailer. Very Cool Infographic...

Media_httpfrugaldadco_yhemb

My favourite store, and one that just works as the customer generally wan't it to and with good prices.
Sadly still limited product availability in Australia from Amazon sites, but rumours earlier this year of a dedicated site, look likely that will change for us, and I for one welcome and end to rip off bricks and mortar retail prices.

137 million customers per week can't be wrong : )

Media_httpstgsmarenac_bdhfv

15,000 respondents x 6 continents = oodles of fascinating data!

  • 78.6% use their web browser daily (I’m 100% - when possible {damn you Vodafone!}) 
  • Males like to watch online videos (well derrrrrr) 
  • 25-32 year olds use the phone as a map more than any other age group 
  • 88% of those surveyed have a Wi-Fi enabled handset 
  • South Americans love to share photos and videos 
  • 18-24 year olds mostly ignore podcasts (really?) 
  • Africans make more daily phone calls 
  • 80% of females text daily 
  • Europeans couldn’t be bothered with GPS or digital maps 
  • Audio books are not very popular with people over 50 - but they love their RSS feeds 
  • North Americans can’t get enough of music recognition programs 
  • 80% of Oceanians use social networks - where making a call is the 5th most popular feature (!) 
  • Asians love new apps and playing games 
  • 33-41 year olds send / receive the most email messages (again, derrrrr) 
  • It’s nice to know that lots of other smartphone users use their phone as a flashlight too!

The Interweb represented by Websites' favicons according to popularity

Click the image or here for the full size beast of this beautiful favicon representation, of the most visited websites according to Alexa.

Interesting to see how immensely popular file downloads are, and of course porn. Some that seem to be missing such as Amazon which I guess is in there somewhere, but as one of the worlds biggest sites seems to be missing or just way smaller than my eye can see.

The World map of Social media

Media_httpcdnmashable_engrq

A really rather excellent infographic with tons of detail. In all seriousness a pretty accurate rendition of the social space today. Okay not everyone is there, but still plenty key players, and a lot of thought to size and media mountains within. Love the receding glaciers of AOL and Windows live, and sea of desperation. Nice!
