This vids been doing the rounds of the net for the past couple of days. There are some amazing facts and figures that should make any social media skeptic change their mind. Having watched a similar video about Internet usage with the same music (I can’t find it now) It feels a bit cliche but nevertheless the figures are incredible.

Here’s what happened when Chris Savage, the chief executive of Wistia.com, searched for the phrase “private video sharing” on Twitter, a social networking site. One post he found read, “A teacher requested a private ‘video sharing’ Web site so that specialists can observe student behavior—can anyone refer one?”
That got Savage’s attention. He e-mailed back: “Still looking for a private video sharing site?”
Minutes later came the reply: “YES! It’s the first request for one—thought I’d hit up my tweets before [I] go digging.”
Savage: “Cool. You may want to check out Wistia.com. Full disclosure, I’m the CEO; -)”
