What percent of the internet is social media? - philly2gurl1994 - 10-12-2012 08:14 AM
I am doing a paper that is on social networking and social media. I was wondering what percent of the internet is social media ?

Wrong question: Not a lot of the Internet is social media, but a lot of Internet traffic is from social media.
Explanation: one video streamed from youtube is equivalent to thousands and thousands of facebook messages.... So in percent of weight, size, the internet is mostly medias (videos, images, etc). The traffic is another thing completely.
Official numbers can be found using your friend Google!

Hi,
I think that nowadays about 45 percent of the Internet is made up of Social Media. It's so as Social Media is made up of many types of websites. They are Photo Sharing Sites like Flickr and Photobucket. Then there are video sharing sites like Yahoo Video and YouTube. Then there are social networking sites like Google+, Corlif and Tumblr. All the Best for your Social Networking & Media Paper.
