Want to know how fast Social Media and related information services on the internet are really moving? Get ready to get blown away.
I thought our world, at Web Business Academy Headquarters ’spun fast’, but check out the combined power of the people across social media outlets and services and how much data (information, images etc) is being transmitted second by second.
Gary Hayes of http://www.personalizemedia.com/ has produced these incredibly informative aggregated metrics on ‘information transaction and movement across the internet.’
The speed of this information (data) is represented in real time, meaning what you’re watching is ‘in the moment’ transmissions and transactions – fascinating and edifying for web business owners who choose to be the providers of the products and services purchased through these various communication media and mediums.
(Note you can switch counters by clicking on the tab in the top right hand corner “Social Media”, “Mobiles”, “Games” (in green, red and yellow respectively).
Here is some of the supporting data that Gary has used to create this counter.
I quickly built and coded the app based on data culled from a range of social media sources & sites at the end of Sept 2009. The design will be finessed and I will be adding extra functionality (such as week, month & year lookahead/backs plus dynamic data input).
The social web has exploded in the last year and below are some of the key data points that the ‘Gary’s Social Media Count’ is based on (many will be updated!).

Did you know … Your site might be violating the website standards set by the online authority for website coding!
This can be costing your web business credibility in your marketplace and also with the Web’s biggest players online – who YOU DEPEND ON … like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and more.
If you care about being compliant and want to be a leader in your Industry and Market, check your website code is compliant with the Web Consortium- the Global Web Standards and Guidelines bodies (headed up by the inventor of the w-w-web, Tim Berners-Lee).
This video explains the history and purpose of the W3 Consortium:
Visit their site, check your home page url. If you have errors, get your webmaster to fix them pronto!
This is costing you credibility with the Web’s biggest center’s of influence. http://validator.w3.org – there is no excuse for poor coding – NONE!
Your site’s poor coding could be wasting your hard-earned time and money in ‘trying to win the respect’ of the search engines and others. Take the presentation of your web business seriously – it’s not only important to have a good LOOKING website for marketplace credibility, it’s equally important (and maybe even more important) to gain the respect of the biggest players online today by having your coding LOOKING right too.

Attention Forward-Thinking Web Business Owners – Lead the Way with Internet Access and Improvements!
Stop for a moment and think about how you got to this website. You came to your computer – connected to the internet and your serfing led you to this page. Access on the internet for many of us is done so easily and readily we forget the privilege of the process and access we have and the power we possess with a medium and media such as the World Wide Web. Access and power like you have as a web user and more importantly as a web business owner is a challenge for many still, for various reasons. In particular there are entire places in the world where resources, access and therefore power is limited and in some cases non-existent.
As a web business owner you may be thinking this has nothing to do with you. You could quite easily ignore ‘the bigger picture’ and just think only about you and your web site. On the other hand, Forward-thinking Web Business owners who want more traffic understand that if you can be part of making the web and your website more accessible to more people YOU and your Web Business will benefit. The true impact of the power and influence you possess lies in understanding this basic truth about the internet and world-wide-web:
“Peoples’ lives now are as dependent on the Internet as they are on the basic services and provisions like roads, energy supplies and running water. We can no longer take that for granted, and we must advocate for the Internet politically and support its vitality personally.”
This video, although a tad cheesy says it well:
An official day – ONE WEB DAY – has now been created to celebrate, educate and activate ways to make getting on the web and using it easier for everyone.
Background Snap-shot of One Web Day.
In 2006, Susan Crawford, Cyberlaw Scholar and now Technology Policy Advisor to President Obama, launched the concept of One Web Day – a day for those in a position of power and influence, including Web Business owners, to consider what we can do to contribute to making the internet and world wide web more accessible – both for you as a web user and also as a website owner.
Taken from the official OneWebDay (OWD) website – www.OneWebDay.org – It’s like an Earth Day but for the internet. The idea behind OneWebDay is to focus attention on a key internet value, focus attention on local internet concerns (connectivity, censorship, individual skills), and create a global constituency that cares about protecting and defending the internet. So, think of OneWebDay as an environmental movement for the Internet ecosystem. It’s a platform for people to educate and activate others about issues that are important for the Internet’s future.
At the same time, we’re suffering from enormous digital divides. Lower-income and rural communities don’t have adequate connectivity. Senior citizens and minorities are often left out. Skills are inadequate, and there is a lot of fear of using the Internet still to be overcome.
OWD is an annual global celebration of the Internet and Web Business owners are perfectly positioned to be a part of the future direction and experience people will have when you and they use the net.
Here’s some remarks from true web industry leaders, (your equals in web business) and their perspective on One Web Day …
Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist, said: “OneWebDay reminds us that the net really is a democratizing medium, that everyone gets a chance to participate. If you want, you can stick your neck out and speak truth to power.”
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, added: “OneWebDay is about ‘one web’… Let’s celebrate, and let’s constantly work to make more, better, cleaner, stronger, deeper interoperability across the planet.”
—————————————————————————————————————————–
The evolution of the internet will continue around you. Today is your day to be a part of the future direction it takes by completing a few simple steps.
How You can Help Improve the Web on OneWebDay
Update or Upgrade Your Web Browser. Use a standards-compliant Web browser like Firefox or Opera. They’re free, fast, and protective of your privacy. And because they conform to Web development standards, they make things easier for people who make Web sites.
Test your websites are compliant with the w3c’s Markup Validation Service. This ensures they are easy for search engines and vision-impaired people to accurately ‘read’ your web pages. If you have errors in your website coding, get this fixed by your webmaster pronto!
Edit a Wikipedia article. Teach people what you know, and in doing so, help create free universal knowledge.
Take steps to ensure that your computer can’t be treated like a zombie. Computer viruses can steal your personal information. They can also cause major network outages on the Web, slowing things down and making sites inaccessible. Vint Cerf estimates that more than 150 million PCs have already been zombified, and are now awaiting their next order, which is designed to harm you and others too. To learn more about the threat of zombie computers, read this article.
Help someone get an advert on the web – this will be a good way of doing service for someone to experience online exposure for the first time and promote that they consider getting a web presence too.
Join the Web Business Academy client community:- Claim your free gift to our global ‘one day web success workshops’ and learn cutting-edge site and selling strategies and tactics and become an affiliate and help us promote the Web Success Wizard – ‘easy to do’ website creation and management tools.

And if you want to do more than that, think about how you can use this as a marketing tool for your customers too. An example of this is happening today in the Phillipines - I-CAFÉ Pilipinas, an umbrella organization of internet shop associations, will invite internet shops nationwide to offer FREE tutorials for an hour, or even one whole day on Sept. 22. So webshop owners will be encouraged to share something for free as part of the One Web Day celebration. What could you do too that will also be an effective marketing strategy to generate new customers, while supporting OneWebDay?
“The web has transformed the way we do business and has helped us empower thousands of people around the world – Quicker, Cheaper and Easier than ANY other communications medium and media EVER in the history of business. That’s worth Celebrating, Nurturing, Influencing … and Protecting!”
