What’s Happening Right NOW

the size of search ($31.6B) or display advertising ($16B).

Some amazing numbers have emerged:
•Facebook reached 800 million global active users
•Twitter now has over 200 million users
•LinkedIn recently surpassed 135 million
• Google+ has quickly climbed to 150 million active
users
•50% of social networks users are connected to brands
