			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite the numerous case studies and hard facts that proof that social media works.  There are still plenty of skeptics that believe otherwise and think Social Media is a fad.  Eric Qualman is back again to prove the skeptics wrong with an update to the popular Social Media Revolution video full of statistics on why social media is not a fad and why it’s here to stay.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><strong>Here are some notable points from the video:</strong></p>
<p><br/></p>
<ul class ="llink">
<li>96% of millennials have joined a social network</li>
<li>Facebook has overtaken Google for weekly traffic in the U.S.</li>
<li>Facebook has gone up to third from fourth in terms of population if it’s a country</li>
<li>80% of companies use social media for recruitment; 95% of these uses LinkedIn</li>
<li>Generation Y and Z consider email passé</li>
<li>In 4 minutes, 100+ hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube</li>
<li>34% of bloggers post opinions about products and brand</li>
<li>Only 18% of traditional TV campaigns generate a positive ROI</li>
</ul>
