Let’s start with the facts
• Each day 20% of Google searches have never been searched before
• 1 in 5 couples meet online; 3 in 5 gay couples meet online; 1 in 5 divorces are blamed on Facebook
• Social gamers will buy $6 billion in virtual goods by 2013; as basis for comparison, moviegoers will only buy $2.5 billion in real goods
• 90% of consumers trust peer recommendations while only 14% trust advertisements
• Generations Y and Z consider email passé and some universities have even stopped distributing email accounts – B.Y.O.E.
