wow these are some pretty interesting numbers, I am guessing that google+ will eventually get on this list? even though it seems like its not too popular. its crazy how fast some of these sites are growing, I need to start thinking of some ideas!

@nicholas Thanks. Yah, it’s pretty amazing seeing some of the new services growing so quickly. I’m personally interested in seeing how a service like Pinterest will do next year.

Ok, thanks, this is neat and all but can someone please explain

- what metrics are we talking about? What’s a +320% or +1600% viral lift?

- what % growth is based on? I assume it’s Year over Year (Jan 1 to Dec 12th or something…) since we’re talking 2011 recap…
However, Google Plus was launched in June 2011. So what does +323% growth mean?

Thank you!

@Briac, Viral Lift is the percentage increase in traffic due to shares and clicks.

% Growth is based off of 1 year of data. The data started from Jan 1, 2011.

Google Plus’s growth was measured from the point when it was first integrated with our platform. The % was calculated from that starting date.

Let me know if that answers your questions. :)

Thanks Jeff,
ok for Viral lift, even though I would love to see the source data. (are we talking average across multiple experiments? how big is the sample size?)

For G+ I’m afraid it doesn’t answer. a % growth is a division of the difference between two values over the base value. For a Year Over Year Growth, the equation is (Year 2 – Year 1)/Year 1. (new period change compared to base, over the base). i.e, $1000 in Year 1, $1100 in Year 2. (1100-1000)/1000 = 0.10 => 10% growth

In your case, what is the base period and the new period? June vs December? First Q versus last Q? Maybe you averages Month over Month growth from June to December?

Same thing for the rest of the infographic. You’re saying the data starts Jan 1 2011, so you didn’t not compare it to 2010 then?? Are you saying you looked a Jan 2011 total volume of shares vs December total? Or for each month you computed the growth and then averaged it?

Please explain!

To clarify a little bit, when I read Sharing trend for 2011, twitter grew by 576.9%, I assume something such as total sharing actions with twitter button in 2010 (10/1/1 to 10/31/1) was, for instance, 1 million. And in 2011, it was 6.769 millions

Because ( 6.769 – 1 ) / 1 = 576.9% Year over Year Growth.

I hope Facbeook can maintain it’s lead for years to come it’s far more interesting than twitter.
