Motivation: The Proliferation of Social Media
• Twitter: 400 million accounts (140 million active users) (9th most populous country in the world – above Japan)
• Facebook: 1 billion users (the world’s 3rd most populous country), and 6 billion photos uploaded monthly
• flickr: 6 billion photos (3,000 photos uploaded every minute)
• QQ has 800 million accounts
